Back-to-school sports to let off steam
With the start of the school year comes the return of the insufferable colleague or even the boss that we sometimes wish we could put down. What could be better than finding an outlet to let off steam from all these annoying people?
Here is a small selection of sports ideal for you
Aerobox
Invented by Billy Blanks, American martial arts actor
Also called cardioboxing, fitness boxing or cardio kickboxing,
The discipline consists of performing foot and fist movements by combining various boxing, martial arts and aerobics techniques, but without any contact.
No risk of getting hit by an opponent.
This sport therefore allows you to let off steam without hurting yourself to the rhythm of the music, while transmitting anti-stress actions combined with a significant calorie expenditure.
Aquarunning
This activity consists of activating the bearings of a mat immersed in water.
You can alternate between brisk walking and running, the work is really done with the resistance of the water.
In addition to working on cardio and clearing the mind, this discipline has many benefits: weight loss, anti-cellulite remedy, anti-heavy legs, no aches and pains.
A class lasts between 30 and 45 minutes with rhythmic music.
Pound
The ultimate sport for letting loose in rhythm while burning calories,
Straight from the United States, it was invented by two Californians, Kristen Potenzant and Cristina Peerenboonm. Passionate about sport and percussion, between Pilates and dance.
Practiced with two “ Ripstix ", sticks that are reminiscent of a drummer's drumsticks and serve to punctuate the movement.
The Pound requires a lot of coordination however.
You can chain squats to strengthen the glutes while hitting your sticks above your head, then against the ground while bending your legs.
For 45 minutes of class, you can burn an average of 800 calories.
Spinning
The essential sport par excellence to release pressure
Created in the 90s by the American cyclist, Jonathan Goldberg, to be able to train in winter.
What could be more motivating than giving it your all on your bike to the rhythm of the music and the instructions of the coach in front of you who pushes you in a group synergy, to exert yourself
This sport is accessible to everyone and allows you to burn between 300 and 600 calories in 40 minutes.
Regular practice of spinning greatly helps to de-stress after a hard day.
Piloxing
Invented 5 years ago by Viveca Jansen, a Swedish fitness specialist, this sport is a mix of dance, fitness and boxing.
This activity simultaneously plays on the different intensities of the three disciplines.
Boxing provides toned muscles
Pilates postures provide improved balance and a reshaped silhouette
Finally, dancing will increase your flexibility.
In a one-hour session, this burns 900 calories.
Squash
The trendy racket sport that lets you let off steam and clear your head
It allows you to work on flexibility and burn a lot of calories (900 calories)
Squash is a combination of power of shots, speed of movement and intensity of play.
Ideal therefore for releasing everyday tensions.
You can even imagine, for maximum stress relief, that the ball is your boss, your ex or whoever you want as long as it makes you feel good.
Megadanz
Here's how to have fun while exercising
Megadanz is a mixture of several rhythms at the same time (salsa, hip hop, merengue, flamenco etc.)
Rebounding
This activity, as its name suggests, consists of bouncing on a mini trampoline
It may not seem very athletic at first glance, but it works your muscles tremendously, allowing you to burn up to 700 calories in 45 minutes.
Also, it improves coordination and balance.
New York women love it.
Finally, for those who are most resistant to any kind of sport, there are also Break Rooms, real rooms for breaking used objects. Want to break everything? You can now definitely do it and release all the accumulated tension.
So, what will be your go-to sport for the most zen start to the school year?
