Young skiers

Hello winter! Time for active recreation in nature. There are many places for skiing in my city, which makes me very happy.

This type of physical activity is suitable for people of any age.

Leisurely skiing has undoubted benefits for the body. Moreover, the positive effect manifests itself in two directions at once - both physical and psycho-emotional condition improves.

Skiing is a great way to boost your immune system and improve your physical health. You can get rid of the tendency to constant colds, strengthen your body, and become more resilient.

Even leisurely skiing entails the consumption of a large number of calories. On average, an hour of riding burns 9 kcal per 1 kg of weight. For example, a person who weighs 70 kg will get rid of 630 kcal in an hour's walk. It is quite possible to lose weight by skiing even slowly. In addition, various muscle groups are strengthened, which gives the body definition.

Any active activity has a positive effect on the respiratory system, and that in the fresh air - especially. But it is important to breathe correctly when skiing - through your nose, then the benefits will be more significant. Skiing perfectly ventilates the lungs and helps remove harmful substances from them. In addition, due to increased blood circulation, the lungs and other organs are better supplied with oxygen.

In the process of walking, bone tissue is strengthened, joints are maintained in working condition, muscles are trained and strengthened. Specific movements, such as pushing and sliding, have a positive effect on the functioning of the entire musculoskeletal system. If a small child skis, he develops correct coordination of movements faster, and his bone tissue and skeleton develop more actively. Skiing is also recommended for people with spinal diseases. Thanks to regular walking, you can get rid of scoliosis, protrusions and other pathologies.

And many other benefits...
