Tell me how much you walk, and I'll tell you who you are!
People walk to the metro, to work, for coffee, taking their afternoon stroll, alone, with friends or with their pet...
Many admit that during the lockdown, they saw walking become an integral part of their daily lives for the first time! But is this period enough for walking to become a habit? Now that life has returned to its fast pace? Now that time is limited and gyms have reopened?
The solution for injured or weak ankles lies in bracing! The ankle brace Christou1910, incredibly comfortable and lightweight, is specially designed to protect against injuries and painful sprains.
As Harley Pasternak, nutritionist and fitness instructor, characteristically states, "Walking is freedom from the gym!" The gym indeed creates a small social circle, and interaction with the community, with other people exercising, is certainly an important motivation. But through the lockdown, people began to realize that gyms are not the only solution for physical exercise! Everyone, more or less, was "forced" to learn to exercise outside the enclosed space of the gym and eventually got used to it!
Walking always and everywhere
You can go for a walk any time, anywhere, without special planning or preparation. There are certainly hidden opportunities for walking in your day, and if you think about it, it's your choice to consciously integrate it into your daily life! You don't need to go to the gym! You can simply park your car further away, use the stairs, get up regularly from the couch or chair, or walk your pet! You can find hidden opportunities for walking without significantly changing your schedule.
Behind every step, a mix of benefits!
Walking is the best medicine!✔️For the heart:
It contributes to heart health, reducing the risk of diseases and preventing cardiovascular conditions.
✔️Anti-Stress:
It increases the production of endorphins and reduces stress levels accumulated in the body during the day. Also, according to a study by Cambridge University involving 334,000 people, 20 minutes of walking a day reduces the chances of premature death by 1/3.✔️For creativity:
Research from Stanford University has shown that walking, in contrast to sedentary inactivity, increases creativity! By walking and letting thoughts wander, the mind rests, resulting in increased performance and enhanced creative thinking.✔️Energy Booster:
Walking, thanks to its aerobic nature, also increases energy levels. This happens because when we walk, blood circulation increases, and consequently, the oxygenation of the brain. Thus, the energy slump that usually occurs in the middle of the day or after meals is combated, and a sense of euphoria is created! If all of the above is not enough to get you off your chair right now, then perhaps you should continue reading and learn some more important benefits that walking has for your health!
✔️For psychology:
Studies have shown that walking improves the symptoms of patients with severe depression. Imagine how much it can help you when you feel "down" or exhausted. Exercise increases serotonin levels, also known as the happiness hormone, a chemical responsible for smiles and feelings of happiness.How many steps should we take per day?
The average person takes so many steps during their lifetime that they could circumnavigate the globe four times! But how are these steps classified on a daily basis? Researchers from the Department of Exercise and Wellness at the University of Arizona established the following indicators for measuring and classifying physical activity in healthy adults:- 0 – 5,000 steps/day is considered a "sedentary lifestyle"
- 5,000-7,499 steps/day is considered a "low activity" lifestyle
- 7,500 – 9,999 steps/day is considered a "somewhat active" lifestyle
- 10,000 steps/day and above is considered an "active" lifestyle
Tip: to monitor your physical activity, there are applications that measure the number of steps a user takes per day. By monitoring the measurements from the very first days, you will realize, with tangible data, whether your lifestyle is "sedentary" or "active".
Is walking alone enough?
Walking can be miraculous for maintaining good physical condition. However, if combined with a healthy lifestyle, its benefits multiply! Good sleep and a balanced diet, combined with walking, complete the trilogy of what we call a Healthy Lifestyle. Don't think about it!
