[Evaluation of Huncao training] Taichung pregnant women and silver-haired fitness guardians use professional skills to break traditional sports myths

Although it is located on the first floor of the basement, it has independent entrances and exits, a high-ceiling design, and the lobby is very bright, making even people who don’t want to come to the gym feel comfortable!

The barrier-free facilities at the entrance are also not sloppy. The width of the doors is suitable for wheelchairs. If you are a senior citizen, pregnant woman, or someone with mobility issues, you can take the elevator to B1 and ask the counter staff to open the door for you.

The internal space is roughly divided into a sports area, a consultation area, an independent sports massage area (also a group class area) and a locker room. In addition to the weighing machine, the locker room is equipped with shampoo, shower gel, and body lotion. All you need to bring is a bath towel and clothes!

There are also two water dispensers, which are very important for fitness. It is very convenient to replenish water and soak in high protein.

Whether it is fitness for seniors or pregnant women, you need to do a physical fitness test when you first come to Hancao for training. In addition to the basic height and weight, the waist-to-hip ratio is also a very important basis for fitness testing for the elderly. This measurement is even more accurate than BMI.

Next is the detection of range of motion, including comprehensive evaluation of the cervical spine, thoracic spine, shoulder splint, hip joint, squatting ability, standing on one foot, etc. Among them, the most important thing for seniors to exercise is their balance ability. If they are unable to stand on one foot, other tests will be conducted. The coach will also adjust the training amount according to the student's sports performance ability.

Finally, what impressed UNN the most was the grip strength test. Yanzhi explained that research has pointed out that grip strength is related to human death. If the grip strength of elderly men is less than 28 kg, and women are less than 18 kg, the disease or mortality rate will increase. The ability to live will be relatively weak.

In addition to physical fitness testing, the coach will also communicate with the students before starting the course to ask if they have any training goals or areas they want to strengthen during Hancao training. Or if you just want to exercise, the coach will arrange the class schedule based on the tested performance ability.

If you are worried that the elders in your family will have communication problems about the course, or if you are new to fitness for seniors and are anxious, your relatives and friends can accompany you during the first few sessions of the course, and you can also communicate together about the status after training. In addition to allowing the elderly to relieve tension, it also allows family members to feel involved and accompanied, which UNN finds very heartwarming.

Hancao training coaches are very professional, but they do not use difficult fitness terminology during training. Instead, they use simple and easy-to-understand life-style examples. They demonstrate the movements in person and explain the movements orally, so that students can better understand the meaning of each movement. Action is powerful, so even seniors who are taking coaching classes for the first time don’t need to worry!

The coach is very attentive. When performing the movements, he will constantly remind the small details that most people often forget during the movements, such as: foundation, force points, joint stability, to ensure that the elders are very stable and safe when exercising.

Different from other gyms, UNN feels that the most special thing about Hancao Training is that in addition to the training department, they also have doctors and nutritionists who can make referrals.

Dr. Chen Yanzhi of Hamgrass Training, in addition to being a consultant for Hamgrass Training, is also an attending physician in the Department of Sports Medicine and Orthopedics. If you encounter special Parkinson's disease, rare fibromyalgia symptoms, or after surgery, Students can be referred by coaches to their outpatient clinics.

This time UNN saw the coach of Hancao Training leading pregnant students to do many types of training. While training, he would also explain to the students the muscle groups used in the movements and their effects, allowing the students to exercise while exercising. Yu can also understand what he is doing.

Take the squat as an example. You may think that it is dangerous to carry the bar and alternate between squatting and standing. However, in fact, the squatting action helps pregnant women give birth naturally. As long as the body allows it and there are no symptoms of premature labor or bleeding. You can perform squat training under the guidance of professional coaches!

Because there are gradually many pregnant women around me, UNN is also very curious whether there are stages for pregnant women’s fitness? I realized that the exercises that pregnant women can do at each stage are different!

Yanzhi said that in the early stages of pregnancy, one should pay great attention to the core temperature of pregnant women. If the core temperature of a pregnant woman is higher than 39 degrees, it will increase the risk of fetal defects, so hot yoga or saunas should be avoided; in the second trimester, if the pregnant woman's condition is stable, she can increase the temperature. Training intensity.

In the late stages of pregnancy, you will start to reduce the intensity of training and exercise, mainly doing some training to help pregnant women give birth smoothly, such as Kegel exercises and core training.

UNN is very impressed that it really requires professional guidance. The coaches of Hancao Training can accept ordinary pregnant students, and all the coaches are very clear about the precautions during pregnancy.

However, there are several ethnic groups that need to pay attention. Pregnant women who have had miscarriages, placenta anteversion, cervix surgery, or pregnant women who are not easy to get pregnant and use test tubes to conceive, etc., need to go through professional obstetrics and gynecology first. Doctor's consultation, and then with the guidance of professional coaches for training.

The coaches of Hancao Training will conduct in-house training once or twice a week. They will not stop their training just because the coaches have relevant certificates. Not only the optimization training of training movements, but also related sports medicine knowledge will be shared together. Therefore, Coach Hancao’s coaching staff is very strong and credible.

In addition to internal training, Hancao Training also holds regular public welfare classes and fixed lectures. If you have seen the message, don't be shy and you can participate freely.
