Nordic walking: the ideal solution if you have problems with joints, the spine and not only

I have long noticed as parks, green spaces'm also Mature people with ski poles, and I must say, always admired them, because it's so great, despite his age, he's not sitting on a bench, not groom their sores, and go.

So I thought that Nordic walking (what it is called) issuch a sport, even sports, and fiznagruzki for no longer young. Well, you see, there is some load? Chop chop and all. What I was thinking, until I got to practice Nordic walking.

The first thing that struck me was how taut and slender was the coach for the walk, despite his age, no hanging belly, no extra weight, no shortness of breath.

Began training with warm-up, and then we have quite a quick step, moved into the woods. My astonishment passed into amazement. Not only that, I just don't have time for his coach and asked to stop to take a breath, and I all cheered and customized. But I'm not new to the sport at all!

Then we had a long conversation and that's what I found out.



 

Nordic walking was originally developed as a rehabilitation program, therefore everything is thought out to maximize the maintenance of tone, joint mobility, thus, reduced risks of injury.

Through the use of sticks, the work included 97% of the muscles and joints, and the impact of the load, which becomes a cause of serious injuries when Jogging and aerobics, for itself takes just stick. Focusing on it relieves tension, balances the movement and keeping balance. A quick step speeds up the metabolism is a great cardio and stimulates circulation.

During one training session within an hour burned an average of 350-400 calories, not a bad result for progulochku.

Another plus – the cost, they are minimal, requiring only a stick!

Nordic walking is shown to absolutely everyone who has any problems with the joints, muscles, spine, heart and vessels, and all healthy, as a full workout or warm-up before training. The main thing here: a quick step, roll of the foot during a step, focus on the stick and tilted forward a little body, as if you slightly fall on your toes. That's all!

By the way, the British Association of health to maintain a healthy lifestyle recommended to take at least 10,000 steps a day, step, average speed, and made Nordic walking in rehabilitation of patients. And believe me, it is possible to trust, because the average life expectancy in Britain is 78 years old, against our 68. So we have a lot to learn.
