0

The onset of cold weather does not mean that you need to give up sports and physical activities. Even in autumn, you can continue to walk and do some sports exercises outdoors. A fitness instructor named the 5 most successful sports for autumn.

Cycling

The easiest and most popular way to keep fit is cycling. You can ride a bike both in the city and in the countryside. Moderate cycling increases endurance, strengthens immunity, reduces the risk of infectious and viral diseases, relieves stress and helps burn calories. The doctor advised alternating calm riding with maximum acceleration. This method of cycling is called interval riding.

Running

Many running enthusiasts engage in this type of physical activity even in winter. If you choose the right sportswear, outdoor activities are not scary. Running normalizes hormonal levels, has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, improves sleep, increases efficiency and even helps fight depressive disorders.

Replacing street running with a treadmill will not work, because “live” running is more effective if your goal is to lose weight. You can start with 10-minute runs, gradually increasing the time of activity. The fitness trainer reminded of the importance of a light warm-up before the race.

Games

Volleyball, football, basketball, badminton and many other sports are not only a good way to spend time with family and friends, but also an effective physical activity.

Gymnastics

Almost every yard has horizontal bars and various exercise machines. They are not as complicated as those in the gym, but this does not mean that they will be useless for your workouts.

The doctor advised beginners to consult with a trainer who will help create a training program, write a diet and give recommendations on choosing clothes for outdoor activities.

Scandinavian walking

This exercise is especially popular among the elderly, as it requires minimal effort but provides maximum benefit. Young people can also do this type of walking, since during Scandinavian walking about 90% of the muscles in the body are involved, and the load is evenly distributed.

These workouts will improve your posture, increase lung capacity, strengthen bone tissue and coordinate movements. The main thing is to master the technique of this type of walking well: the foot is placed on the heel, then a roll is performed on the toe and a simultaneous swing with the opposite hand. For convenience, special Nordic walking poles are used. The pole should touch the ground each time, which will reduce the load on the knees and spine. Before training, do a light warm-up.
