among the wide audience of static exercise, middle-aged and elderly people gradually show their unique strength and charm. as they age, their body functions are no longer able to adapt to high-intensity exercise like when they were young, so many middle-aged and elderly people begin to shift their attention to static exercise that can balance and repair the body and mind. as the "silver-haired people" said: "'silence' is a state of mind and a state of mind." nowadays, you can see photos of "retired silver-haired people" sharing their static exercise practice everywhere on social platforms.

if aerobic and strength training are extreme sports that consume energy of the human body, then static exercise is a relaxation exercise that stores energy for the body and mind, helping people strengthen their bodies and heal their souls by using stillness to move.

static exercise promotes movement through stillness, helping people strengthen their bodies and heal their souls. however, for the middle-aged and elderly groups, non-standard movements and inadequate practice may have counterproductive effects. in this case, they are eager for professional platforms and mentors to guide their practice. as a result, more and more interest education platforms for the middle-aged and elderly have emerged, and jiancheng app is one of them. in jiancheng app, experienced celebrity mentors help millions of middle-aged and elderly people enter the world of static exercise, accompany them to enjoy the joy and relaxation of exercise, and encourage them to share their gains and joy with their partners who are learning side by side.

among the static sports products that continue to be popular, what do middle-aged and elderly people prefer?

"among many static sports products, middle-aged and elderly people prefer yoga." the person in charge of jiancheng app revealed. yoga can bring the dual effects of physical fitness and spiritual comfort, improving the physical and mental health of middle-aged and elderly people from the inside out. therefore, more and more professional yoga instructors combine yoga teaching with health preservation for middle-aged and elderly people. wang rui, a senior yoga instructor of the asia-pacific international yoga association and the chief instructor of the american yoga alliance, is one of them. wang rui innovatively integrated the meridian acupoints of traditional chinese medicine into yoga poses and developed a set of "yin yang circle yoga" suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to practice. this set of yoga uses basic yoga movements such as pushing, pulling, and twisting as carriers, which can nourish the meridians and blood internally and strengthen muscles and bones externally. it is simple and efficient.

as another typical representative of static exercise, tai chi is also favored by many middle-aged and elderly people. tai chi is a kind of boxing in traditional chinese culture. it takes the concept of yin-yang dialectics as its core and uses the coordination of moves and breathing to achieve physical and mental cultivation. since its birth, it has been called "the health-preserving exercise for middle-aged and elderly people" by the public for its gentle and slow, hard and soft characteristics. xue jingyihua is a star mentor followed by millions of "retired silver-haired people" in the jiancheng app. he leads the middle-aged and elderly people into the world of tai chi health preservation with professionalism and warmth. as a descendant of wudang sanfeng tai chi who has practiced martial arts for 30 years, teacher yihua has formed a unique tai chi conditioning system by summarizing the effects of meridians, qi and blood, and the five internal organs. this system integrates the three elements of adjusting the body, adjusting the breath, and adjusting the mind, and guides the form with the mind, and the form expresses the mind, and finally achieves a positive energy cycle.

in addition to the value of health preservation, static exercise can also bring the ability of healing to the middle-aged and elderly. shanshan erchuan (pseudonym), a representative of the middle-aged and elderly students of jiancheng, had been troubled by physical and mental anxiety for many years. later, she came into contact with the jiancheng health yoga course, and her life began to change. she said frankly: "in the process of practicing health yoga with teacher wang rui, my biggest feeling is that 'the body is flowing, and love is also flowing'. yoga has brought me great energy." now she not only has a healthy body and a rich heart, but also created her own "family yoga" to bring love and happiness to her family, truly realizing the transition from self-healing to healing others.

for the middle-aged and elderly, the relatively monotonous living habits mean that they lack opportunities to exercise. static exercise makes up for this shortcoming with its relaxing and comfortable experience. in the future, the static exercise market for the middle-aged and elderly will continue to grow, because static exercise can not only bring a healthy and well-being experience to the middle-aged and elderly, but also add fun to their lives after retirement, so that they can have a more active lifestyle. looking forward to future development, we foresee that more and more brands will enter this field, accompanying the middle-aged and elderly groups with a professional and warm attitude to gain a healthy body and better realize their self-worth.
