Step One: Practice Yoga

Zhang Xiaoyu: "You need to exercise, but not too intensely. Therefore, I suggest that my beautiful friends practice yoga."

Commentary: If you're a beginner, you should start with Hatha Yoga rather than Hot Yoga. Hot Yoga is practiced in high temperatures which consume a lot of energy and are not conducive for beginners learning basic yoga poses.

For beginners, it's best to learn from a teacher. Purchasing books or DVDs can make it difficult to persist and learn effectively. Moreover, it's preferable to choose a more professional yoga studio. After learning the basic poses and breathing techniques, you can then practice on your own. If economic conditions do not allow, buying a DVD to learn is also acceptable, but it's important to ensure that you continue practicing diligently.

Step Two: Beautiful Legs

Zhang Xiaoyu: "Every night before sleeping, place your legs on the bed and relax them for about half an hour."

Commentary: For office ladies who sit all day, leg swelling can be quite a headache. Sitting for long periods causes water retention in the legs, and blood circulation becomes sluggish. Especially in offices where air conditioning runs almost all day, swelling can be a constant concern. Relaxing your legs for half an hour every day is very effective for reducing leg swelling!

Step Three: Massage

Zhang Xiaoyu: "When applying lotion after bathing, give yourself a massage at the same time, that's enough."

Commentary: Even if you don't bathe daily, it's important to pay attention to full-body massages. Taking the legs as an example, you can use both hands to pinch the muscles of the calf while massaging from the center up and down, continuously changing the muscles being massaged and repeating this five times. Like wringing out a cloth, twist the muscles of the calf from side to side, constantly changing the area being twisted from the ankle to the knee, and repeat this five times. You'll see surprising results!

Summary:

Zhang Xiaoyu: "To stay youthful, basically, you have to be serious."
