Sports are definitely good for your health. But many of its types have features and contraindications. Several sports are the most beneficial and are suitable for almost everyone, regardless of physical fitness.
Swimming is a healthful sport
It's hard to doubt the benefits of swimming. It strengthens the heart and blood vessels, bones, muscles, and also has a beneficial effect on the psyche and nervous system. Soft restorative loads help to form a healthy muscular skeleton, which is especially useful for children and the elderly. Physical therapy in the pool is often part of an injury rehabilitation program. Water supports the body and reduces stress on the spine and joints, which is beneficial for those who have a sedentary job. Swimming has practically no contraindications - children, the older generation, pregnant women, and young mothers are also engaged in it.
Running is life in motion
Jogging develops endurance, coordination and strengthens the leg muscles. Morning jogging perfectly awakens the body, improves metabolism and promotes proper blood circulation. Jogging also normalizes blood pressure. And how much positive fresh air, sunny weather and your favorite music in the player bring! It is especially useful to run in the park when you can breathe in the scent of flowers and trees deeply. As a result of these exercises, the heart works better and the lung capacity increases.
Opt for running shoes with a cushioning sole to help reduce stress on your spine.
Yoga - useful postures
Despite the fact that yoga was invented as an art of meditation, many asana postures work great on the body as a whole. Go to at least one yoga class and you will feel how your muscles work, your spine straightens and flexibility is gained. Yoga has a beneficial effect on muscles and ligaments, and regular exercise improves blood circulation, skin tone and the functioning of internal organs. Also, a good trainer will talk about meditation, proper relaxation and inner harmony.
In yoga, breathing is of particular importance. Ask your coach to show you the correct technique.
Skiing is useful and enjoyable
This sport uses the large muscles of the legs and the shoulder girdle. Measured cyclical movements provide an even load on all muscle groups. Skiing is easy enough because the snow has little resistance. Breathing becomes rhythmic and deep, which has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system. The only drawback of this sport is that it is only available at certain times of the year. But Russian winters are famous for lingering cold weather, so you can enjoy skiing to your heart's content.
