How did ancient people exercise?
Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to health, so gyms are also very popular. But there was no gym in ancient times, so how did they keep fit? In fact, ancient people's fitness was not as convenient as ours now. Many women could not go out and had to do embroidery at home. Men are better. Working outside the home is also a way to keep fit, although they are forced to make a living. Although the ancient people's fitness was not as diverse as ours, there were several ways of fitness.

The first one is polo, but polo is a sport that only big families can play. Polo, as its name implies, is riding a horse and hitting the ball on the grass on horseback. This sport is not only a way for ancient people to exercise, but also a way for them to communicate with others. They can make more friends by playing polo, and some people can even find their other half through this sport. There are also martial arts practitioners. They often use knives and guns, which is also very physical exercise. Therefore, people who practice martial arts are also in good health, and those who only study all day are weaker.

And in ancient times, there were calisthenics equivalent to what we have now. They are called medical calisthenics, which are developed by some doctors to enhance people's physique. Some people find it very useful to exercise by doing this kind of medical aerobics, which not only makes them feel happy, but also strengthens their physique. Moreover, the soldiers in the ancient army were exercising every day. Because ancient wars were still very common, they would run and ride horses tomorrow. Although ancient people had many limitations in fitness, they also began to realize that health was the capital of revolution. As long as you are in good health, you will start to do things smoothly.
