The healing properties of running in place
In order to become healthy, you do not need to run as athletes and bodybuilders do. Health running is completely different. For health, you do not need excessive loads on the muscles and heart, you do not need a state of exhaustion and fatigue, which any athlete inevitably comes to at the end of the competition. You do not need running as a sport and as a competition. You need running as a way to return the body to the life-giving vibration and force the capillaries to contract. And for this, there is no point in loads that lead to exhaustion. Such loads are not only not useful, but harmful.
Easy and relaxed running in place is a great way to make your body vibrate, and it turns out how to stimulate blood circulation and force the capillaries to work. Running is a completely natural phenomenon and condition for every living creature on earth, including humans. Running in place does not pursue the goal of overcoming any distances, and therefore performs a purely therapeutic function. It is difficult to imagine a more useful method of recovery. Such running, without tiring you out excessively, perfectly warms up the body to every cell, which is why the decomposition products intensively melt and are excreted through the pores. And so, not only is blood circulation stimulated, but the blood is also purified!
Running on the spot perfectly exercises the breath, but at the same time does not require too intense and deep breathing, and therefore when jogging the blood is perfectly enriched with oxygen.
A few rules for running to be beneficial:
- The body should be completely relaxed, so that the arms dangle like whips, the legs are freely bent at the knees and do not tense.
- The feet should only slightly lift off the ground, making light jumps - you do not need to raise your legs high and jump.
- You should try to make the whole body vibrate only slightly and pleasantly and in no case receive rough shocks.
- The state when running should be pleasant, not tense, not tiring.
In such a run, the main thing for you is the effect of a light jump, which gives a shaking of all the muscles. Avoid any muscle tension. Let this jump be barely noticeable at first. To begin with, the main thing is to force yourself to make at least a few such relaxed bouncing movements. Over time, running on the spot will become easier and easier, but restrain yourself, do not make sudden and strong movements, remain in a relaxed, calm state, only slightly gently bouncing, slightly lifting your feet off the ground.
