Fitness club "Kolokhoz style"

The insidious question - how does work differ from physical exercises - cuts off every second student in an examination on the theory and methodology of physical culture. It seemed that soil treatment with a shovel - why not physical education? Straining the thigh muscles, we stick a shovel in the ground. We shift the layer of earth - in the work of the shoulder girdle. We turn on the oblique muscles of the abdomen, the latissimus, deltoids and biceps and finally throw out the soil in a given place. So why, after the May labor feat, we run the risk of getting shoulder-shoulder polyarthritis, lumbago sciatica, tendonitis and another full paragraph ... abusive words. And, on the contrary, the wise “jerk”, who met the “world-may-work” in the gym, straining the same thing, will become stronger, more enduring and as a result will live longer than the summer resident. In fact, everyone feels the difference, but not everyone can convincingly interpret a stubborn mother-in-law or mother-in-law that work in the garden should be alternated with friendly gatherings by the grill, a sound sleep in a hammock and sunbathing.

Worthy arguments for a well-deserved rest in the lap of nature

Work, work - go to Jamsut!

For a compassionate relative, it will be enough to exclaim with a feeling: “Not only horses die from work!” Life expectancy among the human population began to increase when machines began to replace people. There are many centenarians in countries where most of the manual labor is performed by robots or, more honestly, emigrants who are not considered citizens and, when dying, do not spoil statistics.

We don’t need bread - come on!

If the “second mother” received the Komsomol hardening, death by the machine tool will not catch her. They plowed virgin soil in the heat, BAM rails pounded into permafrost. Will have to hold public calculations and debate. Digging beds in the jargon of labor protection engineers is called "Physical Dynamic Load." It is estimated as the product of the mass of the cargo (in our case, a shovel with soil remote from the body by the length of the handle) and the distance of its movement (approximately about a meter). Considering the weight of the shovel blade 1.2 kg, the earth layer 3.5–4 kg, the direction and length of the lever-handle, the total load on the shoulder girdle is 15 kg. The optimal is 100 movements of this weight per 8-hour shift.

Just a hundred times in 8 hours you can stick a shovel in the ground without harm to health! This complies with state regulatory requirements for labor protection for women. For men, 130 cups or digging are determined, philologists will correct me. It is estimated that for 50-80 movements a shovel can handle 1 square. meter of land.

Dig 4 times more? Your work can be considered harmful! For harm it is necessary: ​​to retire 5 years earlier; add 7 calendar days to the vacation; receive cash compensation. And, to be trifled, demand kebab, wine and mineral baths in Pyatigorsk. Norms exist for slopes. It turns out that it is optimal for a woman of 50, and for a man of 100 inclinations per shift.

Your beauty, your misery disappeared in the grave bin

Even if a motor-cultivator puffs for you, and tears the grass while sitting on a stool, remember that you can stay in a standing position without harm to health for about 4 hours. The position “sitting on a low chair or squatting” is not at all listed as optimal; it can be found in the column “allowable load” (that is, it can be, if paid well) - 2 hours. Then it’s better to change the position, although at this moment not everyone is destined to stay alive.In medicine, there is such a thing as orthostatic circulatory disorders. This is when blood stagnates gravitationally in the lower extremities. It happens that a state of gravitational shock arises - a sharp violation of blood circulation and in response to insufficient nutrition of brain structures, which can lead to death. Therefore, just in case, change any pose every 15 minutes. Beware of sharp transitions from horizontal to vertical and vice versa.

3 "hot" life hacks of country work

The lawn breathes - fat burns

Unfortunately, if all the above requirements for the safety of garden labor are met, it does not turn into a fitness exercise. The trick is that the recreational load, the one from which they lose weight, grow thinner, younger, first of all, improves the state of the cardiovascular system. The most useful, so-called aerobic exercise. They differ from any other practicing heart rate. As a rule, it should be kept in the aerobic interval - approximately 120-140 beats per minute. Such a load should last, according to WHO standards, no more than 40 minutes a day. In the conditions of a summer cottage with such a pulse rate, only some types of work can be performed. The rest, as a rule, will be with a higher pulse that the heart wears out and life shortens. As an excellent cardio simulator, I suggest using sandals-aerators. Special overlays for shoes that allow you to loosen the soil of a lawn or flower beds. Any member of the garden family can have fun stomping on the lawn in these funny slippers with the indicated heart rate.

Down with the bumps! Long live the pitching!

There is also a serious power trainer in the garden - these are special shoes for ramming the bumps and creating a variety of landscapes. These are small wooden boards nailed to the sole of the sneakers. It is hard to stomp the ground in such shoes, the buttocks are straining as in an elliptical trainer in higher gears, the pulse, as a rule, will be the above. It is convenient to use this device in the interval training mode. Tamp the ground for no more than 12 minutes, and then rest, for example, make several inclinations from the fifty that you are supposed to, and again for 12 minutes portray the elephantpot dance. By the way, in order to find out the heart rate, it is not necessary to buy a cardiac sensor, although such devices are now traded by all and sundry - watchmakers and smartphone manufacturers. Just singing is enough! If “Let's go out together in the field with a horse” is pouring in a melodious manner and the mother-in-law is crying, then you are in the aerobic interval, your breathing is broken - you need to slow down.

In the country, not only a pear can hang

Finally, advice for those who process a country house without a mother-in-law - she will not allow such sacrilege. Get a hammock or a swing for yoga - this is a long special canvas stretching in one direction. The design holds a tensile load of up to 600 kg, allows even an unprepared person to perform a huge number of relaxing, healing and training exercises. Hang it easily on any strong tree or install special supports. And after the "exhausting" hundreds of throws of the earth with a shovel, you will relax with pleasure in a bat position, causing the curiosity of the neighbors and the delight of the family.
