Cycling – the sporting alternative on the way to work

Getting on your bike and riding to work when the weather is nice just makes perfect sense. There is no better way to integrate a sport into everyday life. A short or long bike ride in the fresh air in the morning and evening is a successful balance to the office, family life or school stress. Or you can simply go on a big bike ride at the weekend - whenever you take the time to do it, it's a perfect balance that gets you moving and lets you switch off while the landscape whizzes by.

The great thing about cycling: This endurance sport is suitable for all ages .

• Cycling is gentle on the joints and trains the cardiovascular system . This means that this balancing sport is not only good for your bones and heart.
• Certain muscle groups are also strengthened and a lot of calories are burned at the same time. Cycling is also the perfect balance to an office job.
• If you already have back and spine problems due to increased sitting in front of the computer, you can still get on the bike without worrying (just to be on the safe side, talk to your doctor beforehand). Because the weight of your body is not borne by your joints, but by your bike.

Take a few moments to balance your everyday life . Spend time on your bike in the fresh air and enjoy the vibrant city landscape or the wonderfully quiet nature in the countryside. Another advantage: You can do this sport together with your favorite people as a balance . Grab your bike, your friend and explore the area together! The right refreshment for your bike tour? For example the Dextro Energy* Iso Drink . It provides you with sodium, potassium and magnesium and is also available in several delicious flavors.

Swimming: the full-body workout in everyday life

Did you know that swimming is one of the healthiest sports ? Cooling off in summer or the warm pool in winter can promote your health and be an optimal sporting balance to your everyday life . Just the feeling of weightlessness can be deeply relaxing . Swimming is also the classic when it comes to full-body training .

• On the one hand , swimming promotes your sense of balance ,
• On the other hand, it makes you more mobile and protects your joints if you suffer from joint problems.
• In addition to actively building muscle and strengthening the cardiovascular system, swimming can shed numerous calories .
• Swimming also allows you to relax tense muscles and in the water you can simply leave stress and pressure behind you.

Swimming is therefore a perfect balancing sport to pamper your body and mind - ideal for beginners and professionals.

Important: You should of course swim a few lengths and not just stand splashing in the water, even though that can be pure relaxation and the perfect balance to your office job after a strenuous day. Just like with cycling, swimming is a compensatory sport that you don't have to do alone. Sometimes swimming is better with two people !

A little tip: Ideally, pack your swimming bag the evening before and take it with you to work . Always with you: our Dextro Energy* Energy Gums * . The fruit gummies provide you with quickly available dextrose and have been specially developed for sports.

 

Inline skating: a fun way to relax in the fresh air

Whether for young or old – inline skating can be so much fun ! So if you want a quick way to get around in the fresh air that also creates experiences, this is your perfect compensatory training. Inline skating gives you me-time or creates a small sporting event with friends or family . This makes it easy to integrate sports and your favorite people into your everyday life.

• The mobility required by inline skating primarily affects the hip and pelvic region , which in turn is good for the spine .
• In addition, some muscles are trained: another full-body workout and a balancing sport that is good for the stomach , legs and buttocks
• and where you lose a lot of calories

When inline skating, it is important that you master controlled braking of your skates . Before you slip on your inline skates, make sure you can brake and are secure on the wheels . Also avoid certain routes with wet , sandy and rocky paths . When it comes to inline skating , the right route is important for pure driving fun and sporty balance in everyday life. A huge asphalted area such as an old airport or a disused road is particularly suitable for this. Make sure you have the right equipment and wear high-quality protective equipment such as a helmet , knee or arm protectors so that you stay healthy and happy on your ride. And for a little refreshment in between, you can also pack Dextro Energy* glucose . You can easily store the small dextrose tablets in your pocket - without having to take a bag with you.
