Mr Longrée, what makes the months-long work in the Mobile Office with the state of fitness of the Germans?
Very much. If you look at the physical side, we have to do it, especially with a breakdown of muscle to. Regardless of the fitness level, so also in the case of people whose Muscle mass is not as pronounced as, for example, in the case of Amateur athletes, who regularly go to the gym. In the case of people who have made before the time in the Mobile Office no Sport, so now even the everyday movements, such as the way to the car, or climbing the stairs in the company. Also, Meeting with friends, Shopping and other fall because of the Lockdowns flat. In this group, the muscle on falls reduction, however, less strong than in the case of athletes who were before the Lockdown, active, muscles built up and maintained. In which the muscles of the back is more secure, the reason sales are falling and they put on fat because they move less and, under certain circumstances, even more food than before. I even suspect that many will be surprised when they are after the Lockdown again.
What muscle groups are mainly affected?
The muscles do not atrophy only. It also shortens increasingly, because of the strain effect, which is part of any daily movement is eliminated in the Mobile Office frequently. The traditional office of the diseases or complaints are increasing. The classic pain such as neck or the infamous Piriformis syndrome, so the pinched sciatic nerve, could be violent to break down, or in the case of people who had previously not had any problems with it, because you have moved at least moderate – and if it was only of the way to the canteen or the stairs. Especially the leg muscles, our largest muscle group, stunted by the lack of movement.
Now you can accept it or, as you have already said something against the loss of muscle mass to do. Now, not everyone has the space for a gym at home. How to do the neglected muscles still something Good?
This depends highly on the level of fitness that you are in the Lockdown is gone. To all that have so far made little Sport, and your muscles and health only want to receive, I would be simple for the beginning Rubber bands available in various Strengths recommend. It sounds trite, but in order to implement many of the classic Exercises. For example, something for the shoulder blade or chest muscles have to do is to sit back upright on the office chair. For this meet Fitness bandsbecause it does not need a particularly large force stimuli, in order to get the muscles or even a bit of what to build. As an additional Exercise, I think pushups on your knees and useful. To all who have no desire, I recommend: go for a walk and on the way to the apartment, the stairs instead of the Elevator to take. In order to simulate at least some of the everyday from the time before the Lockdown. Who creates it, will be able to keep his fitness level is good.
What is with those whose muscles to suffer involuntarily under the month-long fitness Studio rehab? Athletes who train two or three Times per week.
Since it is a bit trickier. These athletes are more powerful and thus independently Exercises can make, I wouldn’t recommend less-active people. I think because first of squats, with or without weight. Or since the lift with two Dumbbells in each Hand for the shoulder muscles. As a General rule: the higher the fitness level was, the more difficult it is to maintain the Status quo or even build muscle mass. Nevertheless, the Worst thing you can do is to do nothing for the body. Importantly, I also think that a bit of it to the level of from the time before the Lockdown to hold, to reach, let alone tip-top shape.
What devices are you here for the in-house gym is adequate?
In addition to a weight bench, a shelf’s worth it for the more ambitious athletes from my point of view-Rack, and a small selection of Short – and long-dumbbells. The not taking up too much space and is also suitable for rental apartments. Who has no place to put it, still can work with your own body weight or with the aforementioned fitness bands.
