Baths for improving the shape

Baths have long been recognized as a means of improving the shape and powerful revitalizing remedy.

There are Russian baths with a steam room, where the air temperature is maintained at 45-60 degrees, relative humidity is 75-100% and dry air( Roman-Irish, Greek, Turkish, Finnish, etc.), where at an air temperature of 70-90 degrees the relative humidity is low- 10-25%.

A dry-air bath, for example Finnish( sauna), is less stressful on the body than a steam bath. In healthy people, the use of a bath helps to improve thermoregulatory mechanisms, training them and tempering, maintaining metabolic processes at the proper level, and increasing the body's overall resistance.

The influence of the bath on the human body is multifaceted. Under the influence of hot air for 30 minutes, up to 1500 g of sweat is released, which helps to remove slags and other vital activity from the body. In the process of the bath procedure, microbes perish on the human body. The skin after the bath is younger, it becomes elastic, elastic, its functional capabilities are improved. Skin, like muscles, requires constant exercises, and the bath in this sense is an excellent tool.

Hot air baths have a significant effect on the respiratory system - breathing becomes rapid and deeper.

Under the influence of elevated temperature, the blood circulation becomes more active, the blood pressure changes, the heart rate is increased( from 120 beats per minute to 170 when using a broom).However, after the pairing, the pulse returns to normal within 8-10 minutes.

Studies of Austrian and domestic doctors have proved that the bath procedure can be equated to physical exercises. So, staying in a bath for 12 minutes at a temperature of 90 degrees replaces, under load, running at 300 meters.

Knowledge of the features of the influence on the body of various types of cyclic exercises allows you to choose the right health programs depending on your health, age and level of physical fitness.

For more versatile influence on the body, elimination of monotony of training and adaptation to the habitual physical activity and the course of many years of training, it is advisable to use the belt switching from one type of cyclic exercise to another, or use them and a combination.

So, for example, ski lovers in winter can completely switch to this sport( including participation in competitions), and in summer it is mandatory to use regular running trainings. Only year-round exercises of physical fitness can be effective for the prevention of atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease.

You can also use simulators - devices that simulate these or other types of aerobic exercises and allow you to do it without leaving the room.

The most effective for training the cardiovascular system and reducing excess body weight is the "treadmill", the least - an exercise bike( veloergometer)."Rowing" and "ski" simulators occupy an intermediate position.

Without rational nutrition, no physical exercise or proper rest will improve health. Without proper nutrition, there simply is not enough energy for regular physical education. Balanced nutrition is the foundation on which our physical and emotional well-being rests. This is a solid foundation that allows you to achieve harmony.
