You yourself do not notice how you use it in life.
- Where did you get so many steps on the pedometer from? - from time to time I jealously ask my husband, slender enough, as many have noticed from story on Instagram.
In our family, after all, I am an athlete, I try to walk everywhere, I specially train in the morning. But as it comes to measurements, then by the evening I have 10-12 thousand steps, and he has 25-30 thousand.
And I know for sure that he works, not runs.
We can, of course, assume that our dog is wearing the pedometer or that it rotates on the propeller of a helicopter (my husband works with helicopters), but I don't expect such deceit from my beloved).
The answer to this question is - as my husband passes twice as much as me - I actually found it very quickly. It's all about a good habit.
He speaks a lot on the phone, coordinating a large number of people. And at this time he always walks.
In general, if you look at it, then walking is the most natural sport.
- We all walk practically from birth and this type of activity
can't do us any damage. Of course, if we have comfortable shoes and in the process we drink water. And for those with varicose veins, it is imperative to wear compression stockings. It is easier to walk in them, and the legs do not swell.- It is believed that while walking you can use up to 90 percent of all muscles in the body. For example, I definitely do exercises on my arms (bend and unbend with effort, consciously), strain different groups of leg muscles, deliberately increase or decrease the length of my stride. In general, I am creative
- Load during normal walking always feasible. If we are not professional athletes, prompted by high-performance sports, then we cannot overload the heart as much so that it jumps out of the chest, and then there will be some consequences.
- Out of habit, it may be muscle overload, but the pain is quite bearable and even pleasant.
- Walking - best rehabilitation after illness. No wonder there is such a verb "pacing".
- Of course, most of all benefit from relatively fast walking. Athletes walk up to 15 km per hour, but enough for us 4-5 km per hour. There is such a pleasant paradox here - it's easier to walk fast than slower. People who are completely unsportsmanlike can start with the usual walking pace (2-3 km per hour).
In general, I (and you) have the most convincing example before my eyes - my patient dropped 100 kg, as compulsory physical activity using regular walking. At the beginning of losing weight, he got a job that involved visiting objects. On the day, he willy-nilly roamed under 10 thousand steps. This is such a compromise figure, few people remember where it came from, but it can be taken as a starting point.
Do you walk a lot?
