The fact that movement is life is known to everyone almost from birth, and this fact, of course, is undeniable. However, this movement is different. Some people prefer walking, while others move with the help of road transport. Without a doubt, walking was and remains the most useful and accessible to anyone who wants to lose those extra hated kilos. For a long time, it was believed that running is most useful for losing weight. One can argue with this statement, because there are people to whom running is clearly contraindicated. And walking has no contraindications. Especially useful is athletic walking for those who have cardiovascular or musculoskeletal disorders.
The technique of sports walking is not particularly difficult, but still you need to approach it with all responsibility. At the very beginning, you do not need to set a fast pace, otherwise quick breathing will immediately appear, the body will quickly become tired, and it will not lead to anything good. Walking should be calm, measured. This helps to warm the muscles. Then the pace gradually increases. The steps do not need to be made too wide. Frequent and short steps are most effective. Particular attention should be paid to posture. Shoulders should be straightened, stomach tucked up, back straight. The foot must first be put on the heel, and then the weight of the body can be smoothly transferred to the toe. Hands should move like a pendulum, and not hang down arbitrarily along the body. And one more important rule: you can not make sudden stops. As the pace gradually increased, so it is also gradually necessary to reduce it. This is necessary to restore uniform breathing and a heartbeat. These simple rules require walking.
You need to try to prevent dehydration. Lack of fluid negatively affects the condition of the skin and the process of losing weight. Before and after a walk you should drink a glass of water.
The maximum effect can be achieved if you maintain a fast pace of walking for at least an hour daily. After a week, you will feel lightness in the body, toned buttocks, even breathing. Walking, without a doubt, has a positive effect. All cells of the body are saturated with oxygen, shortness of breath completely disappears, fatigue visits less and less. In addition, during a walk you can escape from everyday problems and give yourself completely to the surrounding nature. Especially useful is walking in the morning, preferably in a park or park, where only your own steps will break the silence.
Due attention should be given to clothing. It should be quite light and not obstruct the movement. Sneakers need to be picked up with a rounded heel and preferably with a flexible toe. It is necessary that their surface promotes the free circulation of air. This is the kind of equipment that walking should have, the technique in which it will be as correct as possible.
With such daily workouts, a large number of calories are burned, cholesterol is lowered, salt deposition is inhibited , the skin acquires freshness and elasticity, a natural glow appears on the cheeks. In addition, the muscles of the legs and buttocks are significantly strengthened, the silhouette becomes taut, tendons and ligaments grow stronger. And most importantly - the convex stomach disappears forever, of course, if you do not stop these walks. Also, the volume of the lungs increases, and the heart muscle is significantly strengthened .
To take into account the speed and distance traveled, you must purchase a pedometer. In addition, this can serve as an additional incentive in achieving the desired result. Depending on the level of the trained body, you can change the load. But the main thing is not to overdo it and not bring the body to complete exhaustion so as not to resort to emergency measures to restore lost health.
