Whether a mask, a duty of no-Contact orders, or closed shops – the Coronavirus is from the everyday life of the people in front of new challenges.
Despite the closed gyms, athletes’t let your goals stop, and shift your Training in your own four walls.
With a suitable training Mat and the right Equipment it can go – but how warm should be in the apartment, actually, the more efficiently you can train?
Personal trainer Jenna Langhans advises against the magazine ‘POPSUGAR’: “There are many opinions and theories about the correct room temperature, but they depend, in particular, of the Exercises and the length of the Workouts.”
From Yoga to strength training
For a relaxed Start to the day, many people opt for a Yoga or Pilates unit they belong to, according to Langhans is one of the rather less strenuous Workouts. Therefore, it recommends a room temperature between 20 and 24 degrees.
“During intense Workouts, like strength training, HIIT, or Tabata, the temperature should be somewhat lower,” says Langhans. It recommends a cooler temperature, which ranges between 17 and 20 degrees.
Intense workouts are much more burdensome for the cycle and, therefore, a high room to avoid temperature, so that the body overheats or breaks down.
Personal Sense Of The Body
The perfect temperature, there is not – the right choice depends primarily on the sports and the length of the training. But also the personal Perception plays an important role, therefore, the temperature of the room should be structured according to the needs of the body.
Before exposure, however extreme or unusual temperatures, advises lang, Hans: “in Particular, Pregnant women or people with pre-existing medical condition, should first speak with your doctor to discuss possible risks. This also applies to people who start with the Sport.“
Warm up with the “onion principle”
Many athletes are familiar with the Problem: Initially, a rather cold, but in the course of the training, much to warm. To work around this Problem, we recommend Langhans the onion principle: “Start the warm-up phase with an additional sweater, you can take off during the Workouts.”
Moreover, one should take during exercise, sufficient fluid intake to protect the body from Overheating. Also fresh air, or a small Pause can support the cardiovascular system.
