What shoes to wear in the summer outdoors
Modern sports culture offers the most unusual and healthy options for summer training. They are united by two circumstances: fresh air and increased load on the foot. Interaction with non-specific surfaces - asphalt, gravel - can adversely affect foot health. Therefore, the choice of training sneakers for the summer must be approached very carefully. What aspects to pay attention to when choosing shoes for each of the disciplines, we answer in this article.
Jogging and Walking
Jogging is essentially jogging. It differs from walking in the presence of a flight phase - the moment when both feet are off the ground. Race walking, like jogging, is considered an intermediate option between a leisurely walk and a speed exercise. Its peculiarity is that when moving, you must constantly touch the ground with at least one foot. Keep your hands at right angles when jogging or walking.
Both disciplines are suitable for beginner athletes who want to lose weight a little or just maintain body tone. Therefore, for jogging and walking, choose embankments, parks, forest belts near the city, where beautiful views open up: to both practice and admire at the same time.
Since there are no heavy loads in amateur jogging and race walking, simple sneakers or sneakers are suitable for such workouts. For example, the continuation of the classic line from PUMA - Suede Classic +, reliably fixing the leg.
Running stairs
A more difficult workout option is stair running. It comprehensively pumps speed, power, running technique, activates most of the body's muscles, and develops the cardiac system. But before starting classes, it is better to consult a doctor. You will prevent possible problems with joints and heart.
For such training, stadiums, embankments with a large number of steps are suitable. Even the entrance of your own house can become a treadmill.
But do not forget that the constant ups and downs of stairs provoke foot injuries. To protect your bones, you need reliable cushioning - just like the hexagonal fluid cell technology provides. It is used in the LQD CELL Epsilon sneaker from PUMA.
Nordic walking
This sport is also called Scandinavian walking. Through the use of special poles, he complements jogging and walking with loads on the upper body. This helps to use up to 90% of the muscles in the body. In addition, Nordic walking reduces pressure on the calcaneus, hip and knee joints so that older people can exercise without hindrance.
You can move with sticks literally everywhere. But green urban areas or forest paths are best suited for this.
Hiking shoes with sturdy soles are required for walking in the woods. They will help protect your feet from rocks or tree roots protruding on the paths. An example of such a shoe is the STORM STITCHING model from PUMA.
Plogging
The idea of this sport also appeared in the Scandinavian countries, where they are very sensitive to the environment. The bottom line is simple: it's running combined with garbage collection. Plogging is a common practice for companies because it is all about team building, corporate social responsibility, caring for the planet and, ultimately, a fun sporting event.
In one run, it is sometimes possible to collect up to half a ton of waste. This can be done in places of recreation of people, where the janitor rarely looks: on wild beaches or in old parks.
An unusual sport requires an unusual shoe. Take the RS-X³ Puzzle from PUMA, for example, evolving the iconic running shoe line with original mixes of materials and textures.
Workout
The workout was conceived as a democratic alternative to gyms. It involves working with its own weight on uneven bars, horizontal bars, hand bars, wall bars and other available outdoor devices. You can enter this sport from standard pull-ups and "corners" on the uneven bars. And gradually move on to complex elements and invention of your own movements.
Any outdoor sports grounds are suitable for workout. However, for safety reasons, beginners are better off starting with soft surfaces rather than concrete.
Landings after a set of exercises can be extremely hard. To soften them, you need shoes with shock-absorbing soles. PUMA's Fast Rider, which uses the extremely resilient impact-resistant Rider foam, can easily meet this challenge.
The mood and well-being during the next lesson depends on today's workout. Therefore, it is worth doing everything so that only the most pleasant sensations remain for her - including in the legs.
