Winter always relaxes. I want to huddle in the mink from the blanket and lie in it in the cat's pose until the very spring. But we are against turning into couch dwellers! The most organic load on the body, as you know, is swimming. If you do not go to the shores of the warm seas in winter, then go to the pool!
Any trip to the pool begins with a routine, but mandatory preparatory phase. First, in order to let you into the pool you need to get a certificate from the therapist that you are healthy and can visit the water facility. Without such a piece of paper, no self-respecting pool on the path will let you out. And in those where the certificate does not require, it is better not to mash at all (after all, it is not known who and with what sores swam there before you).
For you to get a certificate, you need to contact the district clinic, medical center or in the medical office at the pool (if any). The doctor will conduct an examination, find out if you have any infectious or fungal diseases, and whether you have any inflammatory processes. This is checked in order to preserve not only the health of other visitors, but also your own. And what if you are not allowed to interact with chlorinated water? After all, chlorine is not as harmless as it might seem. This chemical element is quite toxic and has an increased allergenicity. And as you know, most of the swimming pools in our country are disinfected with the use of chlorine. So go to the doctor and if you are in good health, he will give you a certificate, which, as a rule, is valid for six months.
Swimwear
The main criterion in choosing a bathing suit is extremely simple - the stronger the swimsuit is to the body, the better. It's on the seaside to representatives of the strong half of humanity you can walk in the wide "family" swimming trunks, and the girls to rivet their glances to their ruchechekas and bows on a swimsuit. In the pool, the fewer unnecessary "bells and whistles", the better. Excess fabric increases the resistance of water and it becomes heavier to swim. For men, the ideal swimming trunks will be boxers (short-fitting swimming trunks-shorts) or slips (simple smelting with a minimum amount of fabric). Women should choose swimsuits. For a better fit, at least 10% of Lycra should be present in the composition of materials like swimsuits and swimming trunks.
A must for the swimming pool is the presence of a special swimming cap. The main rule in choosing it is convenience. It should not crush your head, should not put pressure on you, so that you do not think about when it will end, instead of safely enjoying swimming. Hats are made from fabric, silicone, polyester or from several materials at the same time. Also, the caps are divided according to the types of sailing. Some are designed for a relaxed and unhurried style, others are for athletes (suitable for those who like fast swimming). The main thing is that you feel comfortable in it.
Do not forget to take slippers or rubber slippers into the pool. They are needed not only not to slide on wet tile, but also in order not to pick up any fungal disease.
It's worth taking care of the glasses for swimming. They will be simply irreplaceable for those who prefer intensive training, as when sports styles are often in the water, and in glasses it is much easier to navigate. Of course, you can swim without them, but then do not be afraid of yourself in the mirror in the locker room, where you come with red, like a vampire, eyes. Experience suggests that the best choice for the pool will be the glasses-mask. Such masks can be purchased at the sport goods store. They do not squeeze the bridge of the nose, are almost tight and provide excellent visibility. Just do not confuse the mask-mask with the underwater mask: in the first case, the mask is light and elegant, in the second case it is large, heavy and can be with a tube.
Nose clip is an accessory that helps to prevent water from getting into the nose and to keep the already collected air in the lungs. Usually it is used for underwater or synchronized swimming. But it can be useful for "peaceful" residents if you like to make a somersault for elegant repulsion from the side, and also dive and turn from back to stomach and back during the swim. Those who prefer to safely swim from the side to the side, and then relax in the jacuzzi, the clamp for the nose is not useful.
Beautician for the pool
Care should be taken to ensure that there are tools at hand that would negate the negative effects on the hair and skin of bleach. Under the shower you need to stand at least twice. The first time before you go to the pool. It is necessary to wash off dust and sweat. And the second time after the swimming session to get rid of the bleach skin has not yet been invented, and most of our pools are still cleaned with chlorine. And for the skin, as you know, it is far from useful. Therefore, take a few tools with you, in order to help your skin fight the aggressive external impact of water.
Put in your cosmetic bag a shower gel intended for sensitive skin, because contact with chlorinated water is perceived by the skin very palpably and it will be very in need of care.
You can restore the hair with a nutrient mask, which should be applied to the hair after you have washed it with shampoo. Today's cosmetic hair masks are fairly simple to use: apply the product on the hair, spread the entire length, wait 8-10 minutes and can wash off.
After you go to the shower after the pool, be sure to apply the skin to the nutrient. It can be a lotion for the body, and a cream. Choose a cream with a more oily and dense structure, especially if your skin is prone to dryness and peeling. Chlorine in water changes the Ph of your skin and so the food will not harm it, and the skin will only say "thank you".
In order not to carry too many tubes and jars, hands and heels after the pool can be lubricated with body lotion. It's worth taking care of your face. First, wipe it with a cotton pad and tonic, and then apply the cream.
Many will decide that all these manipulations are too difficult, and that it is enough to apply waterproof make-up at home and you can safely go to the pool. However, it is worth remembering that all water-resistant products are made on the basis of substances that quite dry the skin of the face. Plus add to this cocktail of bleach from the water. Do not mock your skin, wash off all makeup before you go down the path and do all the above manipulations after. It does not take a lot of time!
Total heating
Well, if you have a sauna in the pool, where you go, and you do not have medical contraindications to visit it. After the cool water in the pool, the effect of hot sauna air has a beneficial effect on the entire body, opening the pores and ducts, thereby purifying the skin.
After visiting the sauna, you can rub the skin with peeling agents and apply nourishing masks.
Everyone knows that the sauna is great for weight loss. To enhance the effect, stock up with an anti-cellulite remedy that is perfectly absorbed after visiting the sauna and will have the maximum moisturizing effect.
Lose weight in the pool
The main rules for adequate and efficient swimming are the loading dosing and the technical performance of the exercises. An indication that you have overloaded the body during the voyage is terrible fatigue, which piles up on the exit from the pool. To prevent this, start with a 30-minute workout. And only after 2-3 weeks go to 45-minute sessions. Do not lay out the first minutes of immersion in the water. To begin with, as with any training, you need a warm-up. In the pool it can be a leisurely breaststroke or squats, or light stretching exercises under the water. After active swimmers, a gradual decrease in speed and intensity is again necessary.
As for the technique of swimming, it is much more important than the speed of your movement. To master the technique of brass, you can take only 2-3 lessons with an instructor. He will show you how to move your arms and legs, how to hold your back and head above the water.
The best exercises for losing weight:
Brass is a universal swimming technique that strengthens all muscles, giving them tone and provoking fat burning.
Swimming on the back - great for those who want to remove excess fat from the abdomen and buttocks.
Running underwater is a universal exercise for quick weight loss. To do this, you need to find a secluded corner in the pool with shallow water and run for your own pleasure, experiencing the active resistance of water.
