Walking and striding instantly improves your cardiopulmonary capacity

Autumn and winter are the much-anticipated road running seasons. Running is healthy, but you have to run correctly to achieve the best results! Never skip these two steps: dynamic stretching and warm-up before running, and static stretching after running! Coach Li Zheyu said: It is recommended that people who want to practice running should start with dynamic stretching exercises before running, and practice step by step. Muscle strength, muscle endurance, and coordination will also be established. Let us run at a brisk pace, spend the same effort, run longer and farther, and add a shot in the arm for the upcoming road race.

[Dynamic stretching-stride walking] exercise steps:

Step 1: Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and step forward with your right foot.

Step 2: Bend your knees to lower your body, push off the ground with your left foot and step forward, then return to the starting position.

Do each exercise for 30 seconds, rest for 40 seconds, and do 3 sets in total.

【Tips for body shaping】:

The "dynamic stretching - striding" movement can effectively stretch and activate the core muscles of the legs, which can improve the pace and endurance of running. During the movement, the thighs step forward and the upper body must remain straight to maintain the stability of the torso. Do not hunch or bend over. If you feel any discomfort, you must stop immediately and do not force it.
