Snow fitness. How Snow Maidens lose weight

Winter is a nightmare for those who watch their weight. Lack of fruit, sunny warmth, minus twenty outside the window... During all three snowy months, young ladies hide their noses from the cold at home, eating up the winter melancholy with Olivier salad and compote. As a result - five, or even all ten extra pounds on the waist. But winter is a great time! These are skates and ice slides, snowballs and walks through the snow-white echoing forest... And you don’t care about the frost in your desire to remain a slender Snow Maiden by spring!

Running into the snow
When we wake up on a day off, don’t hide under the covers! We awaken our conscience and shake up our good mood, call our friends, gather our family and go to the bosom of nature in an organized manner. Relax - one, breathe fresh air - two, lose weight - three. An hour of leisurely walking through the creaking snow - minus 300-400 calories, depending on the pace of walking. Don't forget to take a sled with you (sleds, cardboards and legs are not considered a means of transportation on the slides, these are too dangerous objects). Riding down hills and flooded slides is good for your cardiovascular system and figure, as well as 250 calories burned per hour. Why aren't snowballs fitness? Just think how many muscles are involved in this process. We bend over for the snow - hips, back, waist. We sculpt a lump - the muscles of the arms and fingers. We swing and throw - forearms, chest, back. We jump to the side from the flying snow - the leg muscles work, plus coordination of movements develops and posture improves. Minus 500 calories per hour of play. You can also compete in accuracy, build a snowman and take your child on a sled... A great mood and good sleep are guaranteed today!

Conquering the ski tracks
Many homebodies associate skiing exclusively with physical education lessons. Too long poles, wooden skis, frail bindings... After such an acquaintance with winter sports, many people begin to associate the word “skiing” with “brrrrr”, so most now love the sofa and TV much more than the ski track and the Internet. But in vain. Because skiing is great fitness. Getting acquainted with this sport will most likely end with wet clothes and 600 calories burned (this is if you ran on the ski slopes, but if you skied from mountains and hills - only minus 300 calories per hour). The main thing is to soberly assess your capabilities. For the first time, take pity on your pampered circulatory system and choose the flat, but leave the hills for later - this is fraught with injuries and hatred of skiing in general.

If you do not engage in other sports, doctors advise spending 1-1.5 hours on the ski track 2-3 times a week. With regular skiing, the heart, blood vessels, lungs are strengthened, and metabolism is improved. Skiing is very useful for the spine, nervous system and vestibular apparatus. In addition to the muscles of the lower leg and thigh, the work includes the muscles of the arms, shoulder girdle, back and abs. The load on the joints is much less than when running, which means that it is much more difficult to injure your legs.

By the way, if you have already mastered the newfangled snowboard, the Snow Maiden has another excellent tool in your arsenal in the fight for harmony. In an hour of riding on a “snow board” you can burn about 400 calories, forcing all the muscles of the body and legs to work. In addition, snowboarding perfectly develops coordination.

Under the skating rink
Skating is perhaps the most popular sport among the people. In addition, it is cooler than any simulator. When skating on ice, absolutely all muscle groups are involved: muscles of the hips, buttocks, back, arms, abdomen. Even those muscles that are not affected by super trainers work. For example, the muscles of the perineum and the accommodative muscles of the eyes! In an hour's herringbone ride you can burn about 400 calories! If you go to the skating rink at least once a week, you can lose a couple of kilograms by spring. What does it have to do with a good mood and, you see, not about
