F.lexibility, results – or at least benefits – rapid, motivation that keeps itself alive: if there should be one perfect fitness formula for a woman who is always too busythis would be precisely this, especially now, at the more or less official restart after two years of pandemic.
In the meantime, fitness, like work, has adapted to digital, between home workouts and video lessons. How to manage time for physical activity and remise en forme, now “in presence”?
Post-pandemic fitness, do you want to go back to the gym or not?

No additional stress, therefore. «The pandemic has made it clear that you can train effectively where and when you want. Before, access to certain disciplines or fitness proposals was the prerogative only of those who attended the gym. This formula will continue to work because it allows you to doing activities in truly more flexible and customizable times and ways “explains Marcello Chiapponi, physiotherapist and founder of the platform the altrariabilitazione.it.
“Sure the coachingthat is, a professional who follows you even remotely, remains essential to do well “.
The two ways to approach remise en forme: workouts for those who want to “escape”
The so-called HIIT or “interval training”, that is, optimize times and methods short, high-intensity training sessions feasible from the gym to the living room.
Free body, squats, hops, small weights at a fast pace, alternating with other recovery ones, raise heart rate (hence metabolism) and they don’t make you think of anything for half an hour: fatigue wins.
«In order to be truly effective, the short workout must be really intense and well executed – a trainer is essential to set up the work -, so you need tenacity. To tone up and relieve stress »continues Chiapponi.
Workouts for those who want to “reconnect”
In reverse, there are those in fitness who try to find each other and stop and think. Hence the boom of practices such as yoga and pilates, which stimulate balance, as well as tone, in the present.
«For those who have lost“ momentum ”, the advice is to start over from what is not stressful but at the same time makes one perceive a change. Excellent stretching and mobility workouts: they give immediate well-being without tiring. They are therefore very suitable for those who do not have a lot of energy, because a few stretching sessions are enough to have benefits on posture and contractures.
It is very motivational to continue. One activity leads to another ».
