Knowledge of walking

I can only change my usual way of walking: Nice walking recommendation (Health exercise instructor: supervised by Emiko Kuroda)

Walking is good for your health.
It is possible to improve the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases and gain physical strength.
If you can walk to the end of your life on your own feet, you don't have to take care of your care.
Your mind and body will be fine and you can send a refreshing day!

There are various effects on walking

  • Prevention and improvement of locomotive syndrome
  • Prevention and improvement of heart disease and stroke
  • Effects on mental health
  • Style improvement, etc.

What are the conditions for walking with improved exercise effect?…

If you are able to walk in the correct posture and in the correct movement, you will not hurt your joints.
You can walk easily with exercise effect and rejuvenate beautifully in appearance.

Points of walking for lifestyle-related diseases prevention…

  • 30 minutes a day! If you want to improve the effect, let's walk for about an hour.
  • More than three times a week, about 5 days if you want to improve the effect (if you can't do it, you can do it once!)
  • When increasing the number of steps, increase the average number of steps by 1000 steps a day!
    Let's try to increase it by 7,000 steps a week
  • Spread the stride with the intention of putting it out about 5 cm before normal.
  • "It's easy" to feel "somewhat tough"
  • Any time, according to your physical condition (avoid hunger if you have diabetes)
  • Let's use various kinds of bags in everyday walks
    If you walk while changing the left and right for about 5 minutes, your body will not distort.
  • Shoes are quite important! Let's wear walking shoes that match your feet

How to choose shoes…

  • You can tighten your instep with a string or velcro fastener.
  • I have a little room on my toes
  • The fingers spread out in the shoes
  • The sole breaks around the fingertips and the base of the finger, and the whole thing is not good.
  • Don't be too large. Really 4E?
  • The heel is tightly wrapped
    You can't step on and crush it.
  • Soil is firmly supported
  • There is a cushion on the heel of the sole.
  • When choosing shoes with heels, be sure that the heels are not too thin and you can put your weight firmly.

How to wear shoes properly…

  • Conclude the heel, then tighten the fingers loosen and the instep firmly.

Stretch

  • Let's do it without stopping breathing
  • Let's be aware of the growing muscles
  • Don't overdo it, and make it comfortable.
  • For each pose, extend 20 to 30 seconds.

Use a chair, etc. Sit shallowly and bend your knees within a reasonable range. Let's feel that the front of the thigh is stretching
Stretch in front of the thigh
