Some netizens also said, "Thank you Mr. Liu Genghong for letting me learn so many 'dances'"...

  In the past, most people saw Mongolian dance on the stage or on TV. Outside the stage, breaking the circle with aerobics attracted everyone's attention, which is rare for Mongolian dance.

Is Mongolian dance suitable for entering the fitness field?

Is it a "whole body fat-burning" training as Liu Genghong said?

What matters should Xiaobai trainers pay attention to?

Besides Mongolian dance, are there other dances that are suitable for fitness?

  Mongolian dance can achieve the effect of whole body movement

  "Not only can you train your shoulders, arms, and even core strength, but you can also train your hips and legs. Jumping in the middle can also raise your heart rate a lot. This is a whole-body fat-burning and whole-body sculpting training." Video In , Liu Genghong vigorously promoted the "shoulder shaking exercise on the grassland", and the words "body fat burning" precisely hit the pain points of netizens, and there were countless followers.

  "Mongolian dance embodies this unique national culture, showing the characteristics of strong, powerful, heroic and rough." Sun Gen believes that Mongolian dance uses the strength of the wrists, arms, shoulders, and even the buttocks and legs.

"From this perspective, dancing Mongolian dance can indeed have the effect of exercising the whole body."

  Mongolian dance has many unique movements and techniques, and dancers must have various abilities such as jumping, spinning, and tossing.

Among them, shoulder shaking alone includes many forms such as shrugging, hard shoulders, broken shoulders, and soft shoulders.

Sun Gen said, "For professional dancers, if you want to dance Mongolian dance well, you must first solve the flexibility of the shoulder joints. After the accumulation of muscle memory, you can gradually master the skillful skills."

  And Sun Gen believes that Liu Genghong only superimposed elements of Mongolian dance, such as hard wrists, rubbing arms, stepping, etc., into fitness in "Prairie Shaking Shoulder Exercises", which is still very different from professional dance performances. The aspect is relatively simple, it is relatively easy for Xiaobai to learn, and it is very suitable as a daily popularization exercise.

  It is important to warm up and practice gradually

  Even though it is relatively easy to learn, in order to truly achieve a healthy fitness effect, Sun Gen believes that there are still many things that need to be paid attention to.

  When dancing Mongolian dance, the body should not be stiff, and it should be kept in a relaxed state. "During the dance, both the body and the breathing should be kept relaxed, especially the body above the chest cavity, including the relaxation of the shoulder joints. All the joints are stuck, so the meaning of training is lost." At the same time, Sun Gen believes that in the process of training, it is necessary to gradually adapt from slow to fast. This coincides with the idea that Liu Genghong suggested in the video that everyone "practice step by step".

In addition, he also reminded everyone of the importance of warming up, "For any form of fitness enthusiasts, be sure to warm up before exercising."

  Using high-tech communication methods to promote dance

  In "Prairie Shaking Shoulder Exercises", Liu Genghong chose a lively rhythm "Semiconductor Made in Shanghai" as the soundtrack. During the practice, it makes people feel as if they are running on the prairie, and the picture is full of sense.

  As an outstanding young actor of China Oriental Performing Arts Group, Sun Gen has performed in large-scale dance drama "Marco Polo", large-scale music and dance poetry and painting "National Color" and other performances.

He believes that in addition to Mongolian dance, the folk dances of Dai, Korean, Tibetan, Uyghur, Miao and other ethnic groups are also very cheerful and can be integrated with fitness, even some very classical and traditional dances. Traditional dances, such as classical dance, Dunhuang dance, Han and Tang dance, etc., can also be combined with sports.

"In fact, dance itself is a kind of movement, and dance can also be integrated with other sports methods, including lifestyles, to meet people's needs."

  Through online fitness videos like Liu Genghong, it has also inspired people in the industry to learn more about Mongolian dance.

Sun Gen believes that high-tech dissemination methods break the boundaries of regions, allowing more people to understand dance and recognize the charm of dance, "We should promote dance in a way that is in line with this era, and spread dance to more people in this way. At the same time, we must also produce higher-quality and deeper content to benefit more audiences.”
