And in General, a good walk this, but there is only a trick of marketing by manufacturers of sticks. However, according to medical research, walking and Nordic-style" useful, and in a greater degree than usual and previous crowd favourite - Jogging.
Endorphins going wild
The nordic walking and in fact many advantages. Per unit of time burns 20% more calories than normal walking: the power consumption increases due to the fact that you work with your hands. The process is loaded to 90% of the muscles in our body and shoulders, and back, and press. Accordingly strengthens the musculoskeletal and the vestibular apparatus, which makes Nordic walking is an effective tool against osteoporosis, which is so often poisons the life of ladies, "forty". Swedish doctors have health effects put a walk with sticks higher than Jogging. Incidentally, sticks reduce the load on the joints, significantly for people with bad knees.
There are also other bonuses. According to Christer Karlsson, consultant sports walking with ski poles (, Sodermanland, Sweden), Nordic walkers" immune system, changing the biochemical composition of the blood, and it decreases the risk of cancer.
Activates the metabolism, accelerating fat metabolism and the level of endorphins in the blood is increased in 5 times! Therefore, walking with sticks psychiatrists recommended for the treatment of insomnia, nervousness and depression.
"Paulignan" decreases blood viscosity, respectively, of the heart work easier, reduces the risk of blood clots and heart attack.
Strike a pose
It seems that Nordic walking piece of cake - took a stick and go! But, it turns out, there are some nuances. Ideally, of course, to learn under the supervision of an instructor.
Technique same as in skiing, simultaneously work right leg and left arm, and Vice versa. Leg every time first put on the heel, then move the weight on the toe. To walk not tired of the monotony, you can try other options: quick triple steps, wide step, the parallel movement of the sticks and legs (left leg with the left stick, the right leg with the right stick). And to further push yourself, you can alternate walking with running, and jumping. Advanced walkers put on exercise heart monitors, so it was all "science", and tied to the sticks extra load.
Pose
. As comfortable as possible. Back straight, shoulders relaxed and free. Stick keep close to the body.
The size of the sticks. Very important correctly to pick it up, so as not to overload the muscles. To calculate it on a simple formula: height in centimeters multiplied by 0, 7 ± 5 see, for Example, with the growth of 170 cm suitable stick 115-120 see When walking on asphalt or stones that are put on sticks rubber boots (and you are comfortable, and the surrounding gnashing not annoying). For walking on sand are pointed metal tips.
Speed. Depends on your goals. Want to pump up the muscles and get myself in tone? Then the speed should be such that you could not gasping, to pronounce a phrase of 5 words. For example, "I'm the air you breathe, the health gain". If you are tired, take a short break from excessive loads more harm than good. And if while walking, talking quietly with a friend, then scamp! However, even this trip is more useful than relaxing on the sofa.
Breath
. The exhalation should be twice longer than the inhale. The rhythm of the breath is conveniently adjusted steps: 1-2 - breath, 3-4-5 - exhale. And don't forget to breathe through the mouth, especially if you are moving in pace. The nose is in principle not suited for intensive respiratory work.
How to deal
. For the first session will last 20 minutes each time, you can add another 5-10 minutes. To keep fit, enough for 2-3 workouts a week for 30-40 minutes.
Daily hour sessions can be a great way to lose weight. For hours, you lose 300-400 kcal, 1, 5-2 kg per month. Someone, perhaps, this figure may not seem too impressive, but this is actually the best way of losing weight that is not too fast, but its results are stored for a long time.
By the way:
Mandatory Nordic walking prescribed Bavarian lawyers. By decision of the Minister of justice of Bavaria, they are now required at least twice a week during the lunch break to make a "Nordic walks". It is believed that exercise will help to get rid of obesity (to say the Bavarian kitchen caloric, does not say anything) and occupational stress. Brisabane must be a sight!
Those who are not in the subject, often mistaken fans of Nordic walking for the infirm pensioners on the March. Actually it was invented by Finnish professional athletes, members of the national ski. In the summer, sitting on the base in the midst of the swamps, they as a training organized races over rough terrain with sticks, but without skis. As shown by later events, the best results were those who were actively practicing. Which, as you know, has inspired the public on feat.
The name "nordic walking" appeared in the 90-ies of the last century, when athletes together with technologists invented strap-the strap on the stick that supports the hand. Learn Nordic walking became much easier, and the fashion in with the speed of the epidemic has captured almost half of the inhabitants of Finland, and from there spread to the neighboring Scandinavian countries. Yes there is and in the States in full practice "North fitness with sticks", and in Saudi Arabia, and even in China, and now we have.
Comment By Irina Agodini, Sweden:
- Me in Sweden still impress two things: the janitor, pleasedi the sidewalk, and people without skis, but with ski poles, marching on the roadway. Looking out the window of any house of any city in Sweden, you will see citizens, sports steamed overcoming asphalt miles with sticks in hand. This cheerful youthful citizens go to work or from work, and retired just to spend leisure time, at the same time strengthening the health and extending your life.
It seems that walking with sticks easy. But I have to respect Nordic walking, when a friend gave me a his sticks and I, quickly taking the first step, immediately stuck! As I explained in this sport, as with all others, has its instructors and its rules of movement and security. It is better not to neglect neither the one nor the other, and to learn how to put my foot and only after a few seconds - stick. Then a kind of dance of these movements is fascinating, subordinates, and now you already go easily and with pleasure, subject to an internal rhythm, similar to the melody.
Say the stars
