This fall is still full of restrictions. A gym membership has long expired or is gathering dust on the shelf. And it seems that you can finally relax and unwind on the couch. But during the period of an epidemiological situation, doctors recommend to actively maintain the body in good shape - regular physical activity ensures better gas exchange in the lungs, stimulates the production of endorphins and contributes to a more efficient functioning of the immune system. This is the easiest and most physiological way to pump yourself "from the inside" to successfully fight viruses.
You can go in for sports in any apartment, even if it is a one-room studio. Making workouts more effective and safer is also easy.
Place for training
Calculate the area you need based on the intensity of your workout. Very little space is needed for yoga practice. A treadmill or stepper can be placed on the balcony. For a circular workout, you will have to free up space - for example, take the coffee table from the living room to the kitchen.
Stepper
An exercise machine that can be tucked away under the bed with proven performance and is even more knee-friendly than walking. A mechanical or electromagnetic stepper will turn an evening TV show into an excellent physical activity to train your cardiovascular system, burn calories and maintain leg muscle tone. It will help you easily walk the reference 10,000 steps every day without even leaving your living room.
Sports mat
The comfortable non-slip mat will make push-ups and abdominal exercises performed while lying down comfortably. It is essential when practicing yoga, pilates and stretching. When rolled up, it is perfectly adjacent to the stepper under the bed. Choose models without foreign smell and average thickness - 4-6 mm.
TRX hinges
You can also strengthen your muscles, develop endurance, strength, flexibility, coordination and balance at home. For this, strong loops on nylon straps have been created that can withstand a 150 kg load. They help to work the muscles by using their own weight. During classes, they can be fixed to a closed door or suspended from an anchor fixed to a wall or ceiling. And between workouts, they won't take up much closet space.
Set of sports rubber bands
To make the exercises more effective, a small set of elastic bands of different densities will come in handy. So that you do not get confused in the rigidity, manufacturers make elastic bands of different colors, so they are most often multi-colored in the set - from very hard bright to very soft light. Try doing regular squats or swinging your legs with elastic bands, and the gluteus muscle will pump even faster.
Shoes
Sometimes you don't need anything at all to play sports except the right shoes. It is important to go in for sports, such as walking, even at home with shoes on. Good running shoes balance the load physiologically and help prevent injuries to the ankle, knees and spine. To save some money, check out the discounted women's sneakers.
Physical activity does not require much space. Much more important is the enthusiasm and regularity of training, even at home.
