If you are a city resident, then traveling to the country can turn into a real test for you. It seems that wearing a couple of beds, planting bushes, transferring a couple of buckets of land is very simple. But the next morning you wake up with the feeling that you spent half a day in the gym. The doctor and TV presenter Sergei Malozemov tells in his official TG channel (18+), what summer cottage work can turn out.
As the expert notes, on the one hand, summer chores are excellent physical activity. According to experts, in an hour you spend from 200 to 400 kcal. Studies show that garden work reduces stress levels, improve sleep, and in older people they even help to slow down cognitive impairment. It would seem continuous benefit.
But there is also the reverse side. If you abruptly take up everything at once, the result will be back pain, dehydration and complete exhaustion.
For a summer weekend to bring health, not injuries, follow simple rules:
- do easy warm -up before starting work;
- Change the poses, let's rest your back;
- Work in gloves and comfortable clothes;
- Drink water, protect yourself from the sun;
- And most importantly, do not try to do everything at a time.
A summer cottage can be a great alternative to the gym, if you approach the load reasonable. And no one has canceled the rest in a chair. This is also a part of summer cottages.
