As soon as you get fat (if this is your story), the first thing you start to do is think about playing sports. Driven by ignorance in the topic (which is why you are fat, in general) and subject to the influence of some conventions of our society, you are likely to make a choice that will not help you to become healthier (from the word health, but not healthy / large). Let's talk about how to choose desired view activity for yourself... But first, I will express my thoughts and observations of Russian even guys who have been preparing hard and pulling up their uniforms to meet nymph-like secrets on sunny paradise beaches.

In the minds of our layman, going in for sports = to go to gym= grab onto weights and build up your cans to the size of real 3 liter cans. In the words of Joe Friel, the world's leading triathlon coach and author of "" (free presentation mine):

Why is it believed that if you cannot fold your hands at the seams, but walk down the street like the imperfect T-800 robot from the movie "The Terminator", then this is health? At what point in evolution did low mobility and low endurance, cumbersomeness and disproportionality become the hallmarks of a healthy body? Maybe there is no need to talk about health, pumping "banks"? Maybe it's just worth talking about your desire to catch the offender and break his neck like a match, or about your desire to have natural armor against street attacks? Or you just can't get away from the jackhammer persona from porn movies and think this is what you need? Be honest - this is not a conversation about health, but about your exuberant imagination. Do you want to be healthy (from the word health) - rocking chair - clearly not the first place to visit;) If you want to be able to stand up for yourself, then you are in single combats- a long, but sure path to all the best in the world of sports.

If you cannot get rid of the image of the Russian hero or want to be, well, at least somewhat similar to the governor of California, then start with. This is a special type of training, which will give you both strength, and you will be able to run the "twenty", and you will obviously throw on your health, and throw off fat from your belly. If you want to get a complete picture of what is cross-fit then watch the video from the Reebok Crossfit Games. And to the end. You won't want to pull iron stupidly into the hall after it. I want to add my mind to training!

Well, and always look at what kind of society you will find yourself in. If you want to be 3-4 times a week in a sweaty room with huge wardrobes admiring yourself in the mirror under Rammstein - swing. If you want something less self-centered, social, and smelling of sweat, read on.

Maybe for you health is actually a healthy heart that won't stop at 35? Maybe you should to run? But remember one thing - running is VERY difficult. And yet - you don't know how to run and you knew how to do it until you were 8 years old, then everything was broken by the dunce-athletes at school. You need to start running carefully and smartly. We have about it. This sport is social, interesting and, most importantly, having reached the level of 10-12 km a day, you will really start to lose weight rapidly. You will catch yourself thinking that you are not choking, you are not tired. You will understand that you have a certain superpower, which we all forgot, unfortunately.

Oh, this superpower, yes, yes. The funniest thing about amateur runners is when they start thinking about accomplishments and harass themselves like the pros who make a living. The choice is yours, but know where is the benefit and where is the professional deformation.

When you run around and bring yourself back to normal a little - you save a shameful belly, become like da Vinci's Vitruvian man, and not like an American man, then you start looking for variety.

Then you catch your eye ultramarathon, the same cross-fit... It's so interesting - math, theory, equipment, competition - that you never want to go back to the body of a bag of fat.

But do not forget about and yoga... The first is the coolest social and sex thing :) with interval training and much more, the second - turns the body into a stretched elastic string, and consciousness - into a powerful, but calm river. Maybe this is where you should start?

A bicycles! My last 80 km walk with my favorite "highway" between my legs allowed me to burn 2500 kcal! Can you imagine how many delicious things I can just take and devour? 2000 kcal, standard for my weight and height, + 2500 kcal donated by a bicycle - you won't have the strength to chew it all! And if it's winter in your yard, then go skiing- this is the same in terms of energy consumption as a bicycle.

If a very sad person is looking at you in the mirror, then head to the pool... There are very few chances to injure the body killed by pork kebabs and pies. Your body here, unlike running, is almost in zero gravity, there is no left load on the joints. The first unpleasant surprise for you is how little you can swim. When I came to the first training session, I swam 2x50m and was just like a driven horse. But this quickly passes, it's not only about weakness, but also about the inability to breathe and swim correctly. And do not pay attention, fat friend, that after entering a swim in RunKeeper so few calories are spent. The programs lie and do not take into account the real load, considering that you are an average swimmer in a vacuum, and the calories spent on heating your walrus body are not taken into account in any way - this is a lot of calories. Don't stop swimming, I pray.

Well, that seems to be all the main alternatives to the swing, which you were going to "well, right from the spring." It will be too late to start in spring, but today, right after work, is it.

And do not overeat in New Year... A stupid and stupid tradition.

Earth (Melancholic)

January 1 - January 19, April 20 - May 19, August 20 - September 19, December 20 - December 31. People of the Earth sign are emotional and sensitive. But they are not able to withstand prolonged physical and mental stress. They restore the wasted energy potential more slowly. The best option for melancholic people is to go in for those sports that require high individual skill. For men born under the sign of Earth, the following sports are most suitable. These are tourism and water slalom, equestrian sports, especially dressage and horse-racing, shooting from a small-bore rifle or pistol, fencing, boxing (light and medium weight), eastern martial arts, including karate, aikido, Thai boxing... According to experts, "earthlings" will be able to show themselves on tennis courts, on platforms in some weight categories weightlifters, in bodybuilding sections (bo-dbuilding), in some yacht classes and especially at the tennis table. In this field, you can achieve great, and maybe even triumphant successes.

From the recommendations of the coaches, it can be concluded that physical education and sports in the cold winter time are not encouraged for representatives of the earth element. The fact is that melancholic people must constantly feed themselves with energy from their natural environment. Skis, sledges, bobsleighs, skates, ice hockey sticks or ball hockey sticks and other attributes winter sports are by no means excluded! But, frankly, practicing these sports will not give the desired high results in competitions.

I would like to note one more type of aesthetic and physical martial arts - sports and ballroom dancing where people of the "earthly" type are able, like no one else, to be imbued with the feeling of a partner in unison with the musical design. They experience a tremendous surge of strength, creative upsurge, emotions in the process of synthesizing motor efforts to the beat of listening to melodies. Less suited to them - sport games, including checkers and chess, types of wrestling. And at all they should not do acro-batik and gymnastics, parachuting and air sports, mountaineering, technical sports. Athletes of the element Earth need increased attention. It is required to regularly celebrate their successes and, if possible, often encourage them, praise them, aim at victory.

Air (Sanguine)

January 20 - February 19, May 20 - June 19, September 20 - October 19. For this sign in sports, everything is much easier for both men and women. Their hobbies are team types combat sports... They feel good on football fields, basketball and will-sick courts. They are suitable for handball, rugby, water polo. Speaking individually, they also achieve significant success. Their UV treatment is tennis (including table tennis), wrestling varieties (usually except for heavy weight categories), swimming and diving, and others. Here it is necessary to remember that people of this sign quite easily get used to physical stress and have a strong will. They are able to feel the load on almost all muscles for a rather long time. These people are easy-going and therefore can actively engage in mass sports. For example - jogging, swimming, aerobics and other sports.

As is typical of all representatives of the air element, their main problem is inattention and laziness. They didn’t want to do something, didn’t finish something, and already got tired of doing something. And as a result - various injuries. Sanguine with early childhood it is necessary to remind of the dangers that lie in wait for them in emergency situations. In addition, they simply need to be forced to complete the assigned tasks. Because all kinds of methods of begging, persuasion do not give any positive results. The child will resist, but soon realizes the correctness of your approach and will follow the instructions of the coach quickly and better than other guys. Only clearly formulated and specific requirements are well assimilated by people of the Air, combined with strict adherence to discipline.

Water (Phlegmatic)

February 20 - March 19, June 20 - July 19, October 20 - November 19. People of the sign of Water are not famous for their temperament, activity. But on the other hand, they always perform all actions thoroughly and correctly. They can be found among athletes, but more often among athletes. They have a more powerful physique, strong and precise in action. Their main problem is a slow reaction. This leads to the slowness of the implementation of sports techniques, reducing their clarity, synchronicity, external entertainment. Thus, there are two mutually exclusive factors here. On the one hand, a phlegmatic person tries to fulfill the task set by the coach more correctly, taking into account the complex physical and psychological-intellectual capabilities of his body. On the other hand, his actions do not always keep pace with being integrated into a single admission process. Which negates all the work done by the athlete. For these reasons, experts warn phlegmatic people from exercise, which requires the use of instant reaction. For example, in table tennis, boxing, bad minton, volleyball and some other types of martial arts, you need to quickly move around the court, tatami, ring. And this can lead to general physical overload and rapid fatigue of a person.

Recommended sports for phlegmatic: discus and spear throwing, shot put, wrestling (especially Greco-Roman), and chess. They rarely and less successfully run, jump, although they swim more successfully. Apparently, the water element attracts its sign. However, the slowness, complexion and dullness in the analysis of their actions sometimes do not allow to achieve the desired victory on the “blue” tracks. The situation is somewhat better in synchronized swimming, diving, water polo.

It should be noted that phlegmatic people are sensitive people, deeply comprehending everything they have experienced. For this reason, one of the most reliable ways to stabilize their psycho-physiological structure of the body can be kind words and wishes. If a sanguine person does not need, so to speak, “sweet speeches,” then the people of Water will not be in trouble with a good parting word, emphasizing their mind, will, strength of body and spirit. Do not forget to congratulate them for big and small victories. Do not scold too much for defeats and mistakes. Always point out their kindness and commitment.

Fire (Choleric)

March 20 - April 19, July 20 - August 19, November 20 - December 19. People of this sign have a somewhat wayward and unstable character. However, having a strong will, developed muscular system, choleric people are able to show good results in almost all sports. For them, it's good as game types, and types of single combats. Possessing strength, as well as good "sporting anger", they often stand out in the team, become fore-wards and captains. Almost all types of power wrestling attract them. People of Fire are not very noticeable in badminton, table tennis, rifle and pistol shooting. In figure skating, they excel more often in single skating.

It is advisable to pacify the unbridled ardor of the passions of "fiery" people through strict instructions, decrees, orders, constructive business conversation. People of Fire (choleric people) feel very confident both in the water and in the sky. They can be seen wearing a swimming suit and climbing equipment. They perform well on ski track... However, choleric people are less successful on the cycle track and highway, where strict and accurate calculation is required, the ability to consistently, slowly increase the pace of the victorious final. Ballroom dancing attracts them. But pre-respect is given to power rock and roll, jive, lambada, perhaps a waltz.

The activity of the choleric person will be perfectly embodied in the results wrestling... Especially if, in a conversation with him, repeatedly emphasize his strength, will to succeed, his natural destiny as a born champion and conqueror loving hearts... Yes, it must be stimulated hourly by word, food, gentle ironing and patting - this is the essence of success!

Consider these guidelines when choosing which sport is right for you.

Sooner or later, but a person realizes that in order to maintain normal health, it is necessary to choose his own special kind of sport. In this case, many problems often arise.

It is important to understand, first of all, what purpose you are pursuing. If you want to learn some special skills, then you need to choose one thing. If you just want to lose weight or maintain health, then you will need something else. In short, every situation has its own solution. Everyone has their own path to achieving goals. The main thing is to overcome the fear of failure, because the effect will not be visible immediately.

Sports for women

It is important to understand that women have their own kind of sport, their own goals. Here are the main goals that ladies pursue when starting to play sports:

• losing weight;
• developing flexibility;
• improvement of the figure (priests, waist, hips, etc.);
• recovery after childbirth.

Girls can safely do aerobics at home, swing the press, legs or buttocks. If you want something more or best results in the shortest possible time, you will have to leave the house.

Slimming. For girls and women who want to get rid of fat, it is better to go jogging, because it takes a lot of effort, which is why calories are burned incredibly quickly. In this case, of course, you will need to follow a diet, but this is the second question. You only need to run as much as your body needs. Do not overexert your body, because it may not respond to you in the best way. In the case of running, it is not the effort that is important, but the frequency. Run one kilometer every day to lose overweight rather than ten a week. This will not change anything.

We choose the most suitable view sports

For a long time, everyone has known the saying "in a healthy body - a healthy mind." And in modern world more and more people want to follow it. But many people who are just taking this path are beginning to think about what kind of sport to choose. Indeed, today there are quite a few of them, and not everyone knows where to start. In particular, this applies to the direction in which to move.

Anyone who plays sports feels much better than one who free time conducts on the couch. With the help of sports, you can overcome depression, bad mood, and stress. Moreover, people with good sports training are less susceptible to any viral or chronic diseases. But how can you choose for yourself such a sport to which you will want to devote both energy and time?

Sometimes it happens that starting to engage in any kind of sport - you cannot concentrate on the activity, considering yourself not too diligent - subjecting yourself to constant stress and training that does not bring any pleasure. We need to exclude this! You should not pay attention to what is available, popular and stylish; it is best to choose a sport that is really suitable and necessary for yourself. Let's take a look at how best to prioritize and find an activity that works for you.

What do you need to choose a sport?

In order to choose the most suitable sport for yourself, you will need:

• Endurance and patience.
• A simple awareness of what a particular sport is. The global Internet can help you with this.
• You need to realistically assess your initial physical fitness as well as the state of health. Choose the load by realistically assessing your capabilities.

Steps to help you choose the right sport

It is best to take your sport choice seriously by following the steps below.

Decide on your own interests in sports... But approach this issue not from the side that “I like to watch it on TV,” but from the position that you are really ready to do this, and in your usual conditions. Think about what will bring you more pleasure: peaceful movements in Pilates or exercising in the gym. Remember that the sport chosen for you should be extremely satisfying, without straining or overworking you.

After you have found a close sport for yourself, you must determine the level of one's own physical fitness and know the state of health... After that, you can choose which from the list made up is most suitable for you. For example, breathing exercises or power loads... You should know that walking, running, swimming are considered neutral sports.

Don't forget about your own temperament.... So, for example, a team sport (basketball, football, etc.) is best suited for sanguine people. But for phlegmatic and melancholic people, checkers, chess, golf, cycling are best suited. For choleric people, the best option would be contact or power sports (karate, wrestling, etc.).

The next step is to answer the question " What is your goal... Why do you start doing sports. "In addition to the usual (to be in good shape, for general development, etc.), you must set specific goals for yourself. Gymnastics can be chosen if you want to become more flexible and plastic. But if you want to pump up muscles, then you should go swimming or go to gym... If you want to find a certain social circle, then pay more attention to team sports. But if you plan to tighten the muscles on your legs, then you need to start running in the evenings or in the morning.

The last point is habits... You must understand that in order to play sports, you will have to give up something. Let's say you have to quit smoking if you want to run without panting. Do you want to exercise regularly, or maybe you want to go only occasionally to the gym. The answers to these questions will influence what you can achieve in the future.

Popular sports

Consider some of the popular sports today:

Rock climbing and mountaineering... Ideal for those who loved to climb roofs, fences and trees as a child. It is possible that you simply did not have enough mountains. Through rock climbing, you can strengthen and develop all parts of your body at the same time: legs, back, arms, shoulders, and your coordination will also increase.

Mountain bike... This sport will allow you to travel more while exercising your heart. By the way, at the same time you can do an interesting lesson.

Water sports... Quite a varied sport. Here you can choose the most suitable option for yourself in terms of energy and load. In addition to swimming, you should pay attention to kayaking, rowing, fishing, wakeboarding, sailing, vidsurfing and water skiing.

Pilates... These are concentration exercises that will develop your stamina, flexibility and concentration, as well as improve your posture and help you shape a beautiful figure.

Yoga... It increases flexibility, balance, stretching and endurance. Thanks to this sport, you can get rid of anxiety, worries, stress, and also achieve harmony of mind and body.

Tai chi... it wellness gymnastics from China, which strengthens the muscles of the arms, legs, making your body more flexible.

conclusions

Remember that if you have no sporting experience it is best to ask a knowledgeable person for advice to avoid unpleasant situations... Another tip is to develop a habit. If you train yourself to run every day or play volleyball at least once a week, then in the future, laziness will not prevent you from doing this constantly. You should not perceive sports as a necessity, spend on it in the measure of money and time. Do not forget that sports will improve your health, a good figure and sound sleep, and you will also become more calm.

But when choosing an active sport with constant stress, give yourself periodic rest. You can keep in shape during these "respites" by engaging in more relaxed sports (for example, go for a run or ride a bike).

So let no stress bother you, and life gives you only one pleasure.

Sooner or later, each person begins to realize the need to maintain own body in a good shape. For some, the path to health and tone begins with forced measures (for example, physiotherapy exercises), for someone - with a desire to lose weight and acquire attractive forms, and someone comes to sports on their own, accidentally carried away by a team game or fashionable morning jogging. But what if you have never been successful in physical education lessons and now have no idea how

What exactly to choose from thousands of items of inventory and equipment? Should I go to the gym or choose activities that are suitable for the home and apartment? Your attention is invited short review not requiring significant financial costs.

Hiking

Unlike many and others physical activity Walking is great for almost everyone: retirees who are weakened from illness and simply not feeling well, and younger people have the same opportunity to practice walking. Steps are a natural human movement that does not require any special skills. This is especially important for those who do not yet know what kind of sport to play and doubt their willpower and ability to achieve cherished goals.

By the way, with the help of walking, you can get rid of the extra calories consumed during lunch or dinner. And while you do not even have to put in much effort. Taking a walk after meals promotes healthy digestion, activates normal metabolism and prevents excess fat from being stored on problematic parts body.

Losing weight is not boring

In order not to get bored while walking, take a player with you or invite a good friend for a walk: for an interesting conversation, you can and how several hours will pass in a row. It would be nice to discuss, for example, what kind of sports you can do together in the gym.

If you went out to walk around the city alone, do not forget to appreciate the beauty of the surrounding world: green trees in the park, tempting shop windows, open faces of people you meet on your way and a characteristic mixture of urban aromas, in which you can easily distinguish the divine smell of donuts from the nearest confectionery. Avoiding donuts to avoid gaining weight? Then grab the fitness oat biscuits or muesli bars and be sure to arrange for a snack after your walk.

Run

If walking is too easy for you, and you don't mind increasing the difficulty level of your activities, go jogging. It is perhaps the most common sport, as all you need to do a tonic morning run is sportswear and shoes - and nothing else. Of course, you can get a pedometer and an electronic calorie counter, as well as a dedicated player, headphones and an arm strap, but all these accessories are not necessary. When considering whether to buy a treadmill home, ask yourself: What is the difference for you between running outdoors and exercising on a treadmill?

It's not even about being able to breathe fresh air and enjoy the feeling of natural morning or evening coolness. The fact is that people who have no idea what kind of sport to do often overlook an important detail: outside the home walls, the runner is seriously hampered by air resistance. It can be completely invisible to human perception, therefore, to fully understand the essence of the issue, you need to run both in the hall and along the street in order to compare your impressions. Nevertheless, despite the absence of natural barriers in the path of the runner working on the simulator, the connoisseurs of running in sports hall also do not waste time. treadmill, stepper, skiing, elliptical trainer are all great tools to warm up and cool down every single fitness session.

Fitness

If you are wondering what kind of sport to do at home, fitness in all its diversity definitely deserves your attention. Although in English language this concept was originally interpreted as being in a good physical form, proper nutrition, regular physical exercises, paying due attention to the state of one's own health, etc., in modern Russian realities, fitness classes mean weekly workouts both at home and in the gym.

The right balance

Fitness fans strive to combine all the most important aspects targeted physical activity: strength exercises, cardio intervals, and short but intense stretches. This also includes the not so popular, but very effective Pilates, as well as any types of cardio, including incendiary zumba.

Sports for all

The undoubted advantage of fitness in its modern sense for those who have not decided on the question of what kind of sport to do after work is its comparative simplicity, logical division into levels of complexity and availability of equipment. For some strength exercises, you will need a set of two dumbbells of the same weight. For beginners, the weight of one dumbbell should not exceed 1-1.5 kilograms. Cardio can be performed without additional weighting. Fitness lessons can be found easily even for a beginner.

Yoga

What sports can you do if you have significant health problems? Keep in mind that in the presence of diagnosed violations, certain ones will be contraindicated for you.For example, it is highly discouraged to perform squats, lunges and abdominal exercises in a standing position, since these elements can cause irreparable harm to pathologically dilated blood vessels. With uterine myoma, regardless of the degree of progression of the disorder, any strength exercises are prohibited, since almost all training aimed at increasing muscle power, in one way or another, involve and, accordingly, exert pressure on the pelvic organs.

If you are undergoing medical treatment and are unable to get into trendy fitness or regular jogging, look for spiritual practices that combine the art of meditation with moderate but effective muscle training. The most famous practices of this kind remain yoga and tai chi. For practicing, you will need a special rug that can be replaced with a piece of any anti-slip material. Please note that most yoga and tai chi poses focus on developing the ability to keep your own body in perfect balance, so it is undesirable to follow the instructions of the instructors on ordinary linoleum or even carpet.

If you need to know what kind of sport to do to improve your health, but at the same time you are lost in the variety of options and prospects, start with the simplest yoga asanas. They will help calm your mind and heart, listen to your own desires and accept the only correct solution that will only benefit you.

Dancing

Not all such activities can be reduced to physical education. However, due to the powerful load on the main muscles and the development of the typical qualities of the athlete (agility, dexterity, speed, endurance) dance Sport occupied a special niche in diversity effective training... They are perfect for women who want to lose weight and at the same time are not able to bring themselves to do fifty push-ups and squats a day.

If you are interested in what kind of sport you can do for the benefit of not only the body, but also the soul, choose modern energetic dances. They are varied and incendiary, in them every movement obeys the music, and not the countdown of the fitness instructor. If you, too, despise boredom and routine, sign up for dance school or browse online tutorials. Some people develop their own versions of movements to the latest hits of contemporary artists. Foreign dance schools conduct official channels... In their materials, you can find useful step by step instructions to perform even the most difficult movements.

Swimming

Like running, swimming is a natural human activity. Moving in the water not only strengthens muscles and gains beautiful shapes... Through it, a person becomes one with nature and the world around him, even if he does not swim in the sea, but in the city pool. Water negates most common health problems, and therefore even those who suffer from varicose veins and various pathologies of the small pelvis can safely sign up for the pool or plan an active vacation on the shore of the reservoir.

If you still have a question about after what time you can go in for sports, in particular swimming, pay at least a little attention to learning the basic techniques or hire a professional instructor. It is not for nothing that this simple sport is shown to pregnant women - it is as safe as possible and at the same time amazingly effective. While most other physical activities different types can only aggravate existing diseases (and sometimes lead to the emergence of new ailments and even injuries), swimming relieves the condition of many patients.

Extreme

Many people cannot live without adrenaline: they decide on huge financial risks, indulge their gambling participation in a dozen dubious lotteries, readily go into conflicts with others and strive to go to the track late at night in order to accelerate their car to breakneck speeds with impunity. The thirst for adrenaline will help to pacify extreme views sports: skydiving, rock climbing, ski race, paragliding and many other potentially dangerous hobbies.

What sport is better to do if you feel attracted to heights, distances and depths? Soberly assess your financial capabilities: extreme, as a rule, is expensive. Those who do not have enough funds to purchase special equipment or travel to places where they can fly freely in the sky usually save money for an old dream - a parachute jump. Nowadays, this risky undertaking has become almost safe: beginners jump exclusively together with an instructor who, at the right time, will help to use the equipment and give invaluable recommendations to the “teapot”. If you live by the sea, you may be interested in diving or spearfishing.

Exercise for the mind

What sports can you do after surgery? Unfortunately, any surgical intervention is a very serious stress for the whole body, so even experienced athletes have to temporarily postpone their favorite workouts.

If you cannot live without adequate stress, consult your doctor. The specialist will tell you after what time you can go in for sports, and which activities will be absolutely safe for your health. In extreme cases, a set of checkers or chess is always useful. Despite the fact that many people only tentatively consider chess to be a sport, the ancient mathematical game is an amazing exercise for the mind. What could be safer for the body than training in strategic thinking?
