Fitness

If you want to sport in fitness room, you are spoilt for choice. Strength training, cardio, fitness in common courses, what is the right choice? Everything depends on your profile...

The indoor sport is for you?

It is not clear to enroll in a fitness room. Subscription, even if it varies from one institution to another, usually is a big expense.

In addition, sports halls have sides that can put off. The showers to take in common, the need to stay within reach of the eyes of a few dozen people, are aspects that will not appeal to everyone.

Nevertheless, for many inhabitants cities, fitness rooms remain the most practicable solution to sport. If you make part, here are some tips for choosing fitness exercises that suit you.

Gym equipment: the health benefits are there

Bodybuilding has a bad reputation: that of a sport "increase" who make fat muscles but has no impact on health. It is a mistake.

Bodybuilding has health benefits, mainly in the fight against osteoporosis. Solicit muscles strengthens indeed bones to which they relate. Increase muscle mass decreases, according to a recent study (1), the risk of diabetes type 2.

Therefore if you enjoy "pushing the cast" and have a well drawn muscles is for you a motivation to do sports, why not!

Cardio: sport for the heart

The cardio, in the jargon of sports halls, these are all exercises that increase endurance and resistance to effort.

Walking or running on a treadmill, bike or elliptical are different ways to obtain this training in a gym. It is very beneficial to the cardiovascular system - hence its name.

It is also most likely to lose weight fast: as many muscles are requested at the same time, calories are burned. Especially as the cardio practice preferably during relatively long sessions, at least half an hour.

Fitness: courses in group for motivation and variety

Last major category of exercises to do in gym: fitness collective courses. These sometimes are traditional activities (Pilates, aerobics) supervised by an instructor who makes his own lesson plan.

More often, it is of course standardized, performed in the same way in all the gyms (type Body Pump, Body Balance and assimilated).

In all cases, the benefits are the same: the practice group and music, varied exercises and the presence of an instructor, are normally the motivating factors.

Theoretically, the risk of injury is also decreased by the presence of a professional. Attention however, all instructors are not created equal! And despite their "fun" image, some of these activities are demanding. Check carefully before making your choice.

Aquatic activities: fitness in the pool and smooth

Today, most fitness activities know a declination in the pool. The oldest is probably water aerobics, but can also be the bike, or even the running treadmill in the pool... One speaks then aqua-biking and aqua jogging.

The main interest of these activities is that they are more gentle to joints. Indeed, the weight of the body is decreased by the resistance of the water. On the other hand, it increases efforts to perform the movements.

The activities of fitness in the pool together so a sustained effort and protection against injury, what makes it very interesting for people who must make the sport while sparing, as older people or overweight for example people.

We run barefoot today perhaps at in the garden, at the beach or at home. Otherwise, our natural running style is steamed and suppressed constantly by shoes.

Only recently, the manufacturer of running shoes reflect again on the human anatomy. To make himself so not completely destroy your running style, you should note a few ground rules. Set up not too extreme on the heel, but rather flat foot while jogging. Press is dynamically while running from the ground. Hips and upper body should remain stable, loosely swinging with the arms.

Day 9:- Running break

Is running alone too monotonous over time? No problem, there are many sports that can not only complement the jogging, but even optimize.

Try a new race route today. Once driving the car into the nearest forest, run cross-country, uphill and downhill, on different floors, at forest, times on meadow, wood, asphalt or gravel roads. The change is not only good for your endurance and the natural running style, but also the training makes them more exciting. By you discover the nature in your environment, do something for your health at the same time.

Now, take an mp3 player as a small motivation help. Groovy party music immediately lifts the mood and carries in thoughts far away from aching legs and shortness of breath. Also a thrilling play can work wonders. Because if you want to know what happens next, you must continue to run or go out again as soon as possible. Who wants to carry around any appliance, should find a running partner. The right speed easily with this by the way also find out. As long as you can entertained yet enjoyable, the pulse in the optimal range is located.

They have now managed a large part of the training plan. To adhere in the future to regular course units, there are a few simple tricks. Set aside the running clothes in the evening already. Who rises directly from the bed in the sneakers, can go relaxed and refreshed to work and throughout the day enjoy the good feeling to have the training already behind him. Can you am not overcome already bring a bag with workout clothes to the job and just jog back home. In addition, it can help to arrange with a friend or a running group. It is always easy to find an excuse for the training, for themselves. To leave the sport partners have greater overcoming requires. Insert five euros for each completed run into a piggy bank. At the end of the month, you yourself something for the money, for example a pair of new running shoes or a form-fitting dress.

Day 13:- run for 30 minutes at

It is so far. Today, for the first time you run 30 minutes without intermission. Thanks to the intense preparation that may be not a problem anymore. You can count himself now to those athletes, which you follow have looked admiringly two weeks ago. The entry and thus the heaviest is now done, to stop running now would be unwise. So you continue to be on the ball, you should make is equal to the next challenge. Set yourself a new training target to run about an hour at a time, or to run eight kilometers in 45 minutes. Or sign up equal to a competition. Yes not just be a marathon. Even small town runs with five or ten kilometers distances awaken ambition and help you to stay on the ball.

Summer, It Has More Time For The Sports


Summer, It Has More Time For The Sports
But if we take for a champion without ever to train the rest of the year, our muscles and tendons will not appreciate!
Some tips to get back to the sport in the summer, safely.

Resume a sport in the summer: Yes, but with caution!

Time, space and a motivation to any test to find the form: it is good, but it is not everything.
In sports, it is not because we want to, we can!

To return to the sport in the summer: know the risks

Muscles, tendons and ligaments may suffer as much as in summer, the temperatures are high.

However any dehydration can have far-reaching consequences: 1% of water loss (700 g for a 70 kg adult), it is 10% less muscle capacity.

It will therefore be necessary to resume smoothly and after medical advice always once past the cap for 40 years.

Indeed, the risk of accident is greater that are totally lacking drive. That it overstates its capabilities on the pretext that 20 years earlier, we were good sports or even that one is involved in a match or we follow a group of stronger than US friends, it compels us to force.

Every year 10,000 of holidaymakers, too eager to engage in a sports activity, are the costs of such carelessness, with key, cramps, and elongation, of sprains, sprains, but also sometimes a myocardial infarction.

Do everything to avoid accidents involving sport summer

Many accidents occur at the end of meeting (due to fatigue) or in the hottest hours of the day (due to dehydration).

  • The best prevention is therefore to sport at the time where the temperatures are still mild (early morning).
  • We must also think about drinking choice 2-4 Sips 10-minute an orange juice cut with water by adding salt, at the rate of 1 to 2 grams per liter, because their fructose is the ally of the muscular effort of long-term, or even, a bicarbonate water as mineral water.
  • Always nutritionally, small dishes rich in meats and meat are to consume in moderation because proteins produce waste that overwhelm the kidneys and promote Tendonitis.
  • It is best to prefer carbohydrates (pasta, bread, rice...).

Finally, it is better to do various sports, in small doses, to avoid all focus on the same muscle group.

And above all, never use force, even to grant a pause when it feels the need: If we can't talk without mincing words, is that it is already above our capabilities.

React well incident at a meeting of sport

  • If we have a muscle contracted into a ball and that hurts:
This indicates a contracture and announces that the muscle was over-committed, too long.
It is high time to stop, otherwise there is a risk of complications.

In the meantime, to relieve, can massage the leg, from ankle to the heart and stretch it to relax the muscle contracted.

  • If you feel a sudden pain:
Muscle fibers are torn will (breakdown).
This happens when our activity is too long compared to our physical capabilities. As the injured Member should be landfill, there is nothing else to do but to quickly consult. The doctor prescribed more often than crutches and a dozen sessions of physiotherapy to redo work smooth muscle.

Obviously, it is more about move during the holidays since there at least for 3 weeks of treatment!

  • If it twists the ankle:
An external ankle sprain, due to the distension of the ligament - the most common case - for example occurs when you put the foot in a hole.
If the pain disappears as soon as it presents the foot flat on the ground and that there is neither swelling nor blue, no need to consult. Just relax for the day.

But if the market is painful or even ankle swollen, there is more choice: if necessary, the doctor may decide, often after x-ray, a contention or a plaster for 3 or 4 weeks (when a small bone of the foot was torn).

  • If you feel pain in the hours after the workout:
It's probably an inflammation of an over-committed tendon (tendonitis).
Surely even if we play tennis with a tennis racket too heavy, too tight rope or if one has a very bad technique (tendonitis of the elbow). Alternatively, if you run on a hard floor, with bad shoes: this time, it is the Achilles tendon that is affected.

The solution: put cold to ease and leave the sick tendon at rest, for at least two weeks.

  • If the pain persists even months:
It is that the initial problem is not accurately captured in charge.
It may operate, especially in the case of ligamentous instability after a badly neat sprain.

A good reason to make every effort when the incident occurs!

Most injuries can be himself is prevent at Beach Volleyball warm up, targeted training and especially by learning the proper techniques of the game. However, there are some risks.

Injuries in beach volleyball

As well as in the classic volleyball fingers due to permanent blocking, flatbeds, and sometimes very high ball speed include the parts of the body that are most vulnerable. Sprains, tendon tears, and breaks are not on the agenda, but can happen. Proper stretching and proper warmup of the fingers and hands before the beach volleyball games, reduces the risk of such injuries. A finger is slightly damaged, help and medical tape to bandage your finger or the joint. If you can still play, should be clarified with a doctor.
Thanks to the soft, Sandy playing field, knee and ankle joints and the spine are not quite as claimed in the Hall. Nevertheless lurk even in the beach volleyball dangers such as Ligamental or meniscus damage. Thorough warming up is also the best interest in this sport.

Basic training important

Despite the heavy use of the shoulder joints, acute injury of shoulder beach volleyball are rare. Chronic pain are more common on the other hand, if the trunk and shoulder muscles not sufficiently trained and is heated. Value should be placed on a consistent workout of these muscles in this sport. Because here the wind and therefore not properly taken balls can be quite painful if the momentum can not be braked.
For the spine, an unfavorable sport is rather depending on fitness and claim of the player's beach volleyball. The many jumps, turns and bending back when the attack hit can also acute and chronic injuries cause if untrained is played. Especially the Bandschiebe is affected. But warming up and strength training can be also here preventive to strengthen the back muscles.

Protection against Sun in the beach volleyball

Not only the pain caused directly by the sport and problems are to be observed. For a sport such as beach volleyball, which is operated in the open air, everyone should prepare themselves accordingly: who plays at Sun and high temperatures of beach volleyball, which should the danger of UV radiation on the skin not neglect.
As in all other outdoor sports applies also here: as high sun protection factor (SPF) sunscreen use for skin, wear light-colored clothes, sunglasses and hats and spend the game breaks in the shade. It is also important, to have enough liquid, the best unsweetened beverages or water, because you lose much more fluid than in indoor sports at high temperatures and physical activity.
By the way, you need not necessarily for the beginning of a sandy seabed. For beginners in the beach volleyball, it is quite advisable once in a park to practice the basic techniques such as platforms and excavators and then go onto the sand. Because the correct playing technique decreases the risk of injury and step by step you become accustomed to the new sport.

THE MERE FACT OF MOVE REPRESENTS A POWERFUL FACTOR ANTI CANCER


THE MERE FACT OF MOVE REPRESENTS A POWERFUL FACTOR ANTI CANCER

Physical activity is effective on the deterrence of cancers, collectively occupies a key place in dealing cancers.

But what type of activity practice, at what intensity and how often?

Physical or sports activity?

In terms of prevention and anti-cancer treatment, it is important to differentiate physical activity and sport. It is especially the first to aim, the second being a subset of physical activity, specialized and organized.

Physical activity corresponds to all movements of the body that is produced in the context of everyday life and that induce an energy expenditure, as opposed to physical inactivity.

Thus, in the case of cancer, an activity to retrieve physical abilities, regain self-confidence, improve well-being and promote social reintegration. In other words, that above all must not is stay sedentary, as spend much of his time watching TV.

Conversely, any activity is beneficial, hence the term "move" used by the national Institute of fight against cancer in its information campaigns. Because it is the sum of the movements that counts, not limited to only leisure or sporting activities.

Physical activity: significant anti-cancer benefits

A moderate or sustained intensity physical activity exerts a protective effect against certain cancers.

The most convincing scientific data refer to the colon cancer in men and women, with an average decrease of 40 to 50% of the risk of developing cancer of the colon. But they also wear on breast cancer and cancer of the endometrium in women finally.

5 hours of supported leisure activities decrease by 38% the risk of breast cancer, compared to sedentary women, and 20 to 50% the risk of recurrence of cancer.

Your placemarks to set your level of physical activity

Check at least a sum of overall physical activity of moderate intensity, for at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week.

Moderate-intensity activity, means an activity with acceleration of breathing without necessarily of sweating (brisk walking, aerobics, gardening, bicycle...), as opposed to low-intensity activities that induce No acceleration of breathing (slow market, household, DIY, petanque, billiards...).

If your activities are most high intensity (with significant breathing, heart rate acceleration) and sweating, you can aim a slightly lesser duration: at least 20 minutes, 5 days a week (walking with altitude, hiking average mountain, jogging, swimming, sports...).
