Sports Clothing: Winter Rules

Oncoming of frosts is not the reason to loose shape that you gained during summer. Along with that, while exercising, it is not at all necessary to deprive you of fresh air and spend winter in gyms. Learn to dress correctly.

Why is cold dangerous?
While exercising outdoors in the late autumn and in the winter it is not only low temperature that affects people. It is also winter and humidity that greatly affect personal perception of cold. In winter low temperature and harsh differentials influence the tonus of blood vessels, which is why you have to measure loads thoroughly, by reference to the individual sense of comfort and level of fitness.

The very first level
Usually in winter over the naked body we put on thermal underwear, which in reality can be very different. The matter is that this is the defense that is closest to the body, which as well must perform a function of light compression underwear, providing muscles support. Besides, it creates a moderate air cushion, which allows a more effective heat exchange. What will the next clothing layers consist of depends on the purpose of exercises and on their intensity, which everyone chooses individually.

For intensive exercises
When exercises are supposed to be highly intensive, usually they are short-term. Therefore, even in case of severe cold, you should have very light clothing on - a windproof suit over thermal underwear will be quite enough. However, take into account the fact that the intensity of the exercises should be always high. Otherwise hypothermia may happen, which threatens not only with a cold, but also with heart and blood vessels problems.

If, for instance, a 20-minute run is assumed, and the running will be quite intensive, don’t wrap up, because there is a risk of overheating and sweating. If you suppose to take a break in you exercises, either do it in a warm place, or put on an extra layer of clothes.

For exercises of light and medium intensity
Often in a cold time of a year you have to ease-off because of weather conditions. That is why walking becomes especially relevant in winter time. Walking is a low-intensive exercise, but to make the exercise more effective you should do it rather long. That is why you will have to wrap up - taking into account that you will be moving for a long time, but not extensively.

And about your shoes
With the exception of skates, downhill ski boots and snowboard boots, usually sport shoes are not equipped with underlining. Therefore, you need to think of an extra pair of warm socks. If a person is warmly dressed, and his feet are freezing, the load on the cardiovascular system is greatly increased.

Enjoy a Passionate Salsa

Salsa is not only a tasty sauce, but not less than "delicious" Latin American dance. The sauce recipe is complicated, and the dance elements are also complex and interesting.
