Folk wisdom

It would seem, how can you train in an apartment? Morning exercises - this is understandable: I did swings, turns, bends - and charged myself with energy for the whole day. It’s another thing to develop any physical quality, such as strength. Here you can’t do without barbells, dumbbells, not to mention other more complex equipment. I'm sure many people think so. And they are wrong. You can significantly strengthen your muscles without leaving your room.

Already in the second half of the 19th century. An intensive search began for an antidote to the increasing weakness of the body of the majority of the population. And it was soon found - indoor gymnastics appeared. It did not require a specially designated place for classes, special devices and, most importantly, it significantly saved time, allowing you to get an intense and uniform load in a short period of time. Soon a real boom in indoor gymnastics began, and a large number of methods of bodily development appeared. Moreover, many of them were no less popular than they are now, for example, karate, wushu, classical or anti-gravity yoga. The systems of I. Müller, D. Schreber, and I. Proshek were especially loved among fans of physical activity. An interesting feature of them was that the authors almost did not use simulators or various devices.

For example, Müller's gymnastics had a very large variety of flexion and extension turns, and all this was done at a fast pace. The most interesting thing is that the results of such exercises were no less than with weight training! The greater or lesser load on the muscles was regulated by the intensity of their execution.

The Proshek system, also very popular in its time, was built in a completely different way; it paid great attention to static stresses. Interestingly, Proshek considered the use of various weights, such as dumbbells, completely unnecessary. This mechanical influence of an external force does not require, in his opinion, any effort of will.

Unfortunately, these days the recommendations of famous athletes of the past have been completely forgotten. Meanwhile, recent studies by American scientists have confirmed that psycho-emotional overload and inability to adapt to the intense rhythm of life is observed in people with a frail physique almost 5 times more often than in their muscular peers. As paradoxical as it may seem at first glance, children with proportionally developed muscles learn better. Therefore, physical activity is important from early childhood - it will not only strengthen the muscle corset, but also avoid various diseases that have become the scourge of our time: osteochondrosis, radiculitis, arthritis and many others.
