This year’s list of new trends in the world of fitnesse 2018 from Harper’s Bazaar there was an unexpected change. At number 7, separating between workouts with a Hoop and fitness classes on the trampolines, were walking – easy, old-fashioned walking, which does not require special equipment and money. Error? Or trainierende in society?
What a simple walk suddenly became fashionable sporty direction, at least, surprising, especially when you consider all that we have heard about fitness over the past few years. World review of developments in the field of fitness shows that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is the most popular destination in the West this year. And Europeanist prefers spinning (simulation race).
Anyway, the walk does not fit into the idea of quick, intense and effective workouts that we choose the busiest in the history of mankind. However, a deeper look at how people practice, shows a different trend: the transition from fast to slower (though not necessarily less difficult), measured forms of fitness. Consciousness is a word that is increasingly common in the world of sports: a conscious movement, a conscious stream of conscious control. Imagine the opposite of the throw or jerk – this is a conscious movement. The idea is that if you are conscious, each exercise is performed with precision and full awareness of the physical mechanisms of the body. Simply put, yoga conscious, some burpees – no.
More importantly, it is also about being informed enough to see the big picture, diagnose their physical, spiritual and emotional needs. Despite regular intense exercise, you may notice that your condition is still stressful and hectic, dull skin, and muscle tone is uneven. Discovering all of this, it is possible to choose the best script, which should begin with lifestyle changes. Star coach David Higgins believes that mindfulness is an integral part of the training:
A gym is no substitute for otsutstvet.skorosti during the week. I think that awareness is something new for most people, although it has always existed. People are starting to realize that they don’t have to kill yourself to get important, meaningful results.
Higgins coached the actors and stuntmen for movies (including Wonder Woman and Mission: impossible). His players he recommends to reduce the impact of all negative factors surrounding them, be it radiation from the monitor or strain to the back due to constant sitting.
Raise your ass off the chair, correct chin, lower the shoulders down. Stand up and take a walk during your lunch break: give 20 minutes of sun to your skin. All these little things are important, and the gym – only Vicentina the cake. A large part of success is what you do outside the gym.
He says that HIIT is a quick solution, but such practices do not allow you to fully control your body in order to safely perform the exercises.
I’m interested in longevity, postural control and a healthy lifestyle. We all need to be more attentive to yourself, if we’re going to live a long, happy and healthy life.
Conscious exercises such as yoga and Pilates become more popular as the market becomes more educated, while HIIT brings nothing but quick results. People stanovyatsya attentive to your body and the impact body with the mind.
What other workout can be called conscious?
A good example LIIT (interval training, low intensity), during which running is replaced by walking. Another great option LISS (low intensity session at a constant speed), whether it be swimming, running or walking. Such training aims at increasing blood flow, metabolism and the development of joints.
If you perform the exercises slowly and mindfully, you will be able to feel every muscle involved. If you do something fast you are not working with all the muscle, and over time, more and you risk to make injury.
Walking, explains Harper’s Bazaar, often not even considered a sport, rather it refers to classes for those who physically cannot afford a more intense workout. However, today this type of physical activity comes to the fore, as people often think about a conscious movement to healthy longevity. Higgins count myself among these people:
I’m 35, and I prefer long-term approach, in contrast to the 20-year-old coach, who likely has not faced stress and doesn’t understand why you can’t every day to go to the gym. I want to be a grandfather one day and to live as long as possible. If the result of your workouts will be the trauma and pain of a lifetime, what is the point in this sport?
