With more weight and less emotional balance. This is how we get out of confinement. Lack of movement, culinary excesses coupled with fear, uncertainty and sadness have turned out to be an explosive cocktail that, although we sometimes don't want to see it, has left us with physical and mental consequences .

The realization of physical activity, healing of body and soul, is now more necessary than ever but, as always, with head and good sense. Álex García, head of Fit Club Madrid (boutique gym specialized in personalized training) stresses the importance of being prudent in choosing the discipline and in the objectives : "We must bear in mind that each exercise, results and calories we can burn with each of them depends on the complexion of the person and the intensity that he uses so we should never generalize. "

Despite the fact that the first step before starting a new training should always be to have the supervision of a professional who designs a customized plan for us, García lists six activities that, in these strange days, will rescue us from this physical anxiety and mental.

1. Running:

It is cheap (unless we go crazy with sneakers or gadgets), easy (in principle, everyone knows how to run but you have to take care of your technique to avoid injury) and very effective.

Mistakes we make when running

Physical benefits : it is a powerful calorie burner but, be careful, it is essential to plan the sessions well so as not to get bored and throw in the towel, stagnate or, worse yet, hurt ourselves.

Mental benefits: Running is one of the most powerful endorphin generators known. Helps combat stress and anxiety. Boost self-esteem as the marks made are easy to quantify and consequently encourages us to improve them. The improvements are easily noticeable.

Cons: It is not advisable to jump into your practice without professional supervision, being overweight or with some type of injury. The impact on the joints is very high.

Calories burned: 700 approx (depends on weight, age, sex, intensity, etc).

2. Jump rope

It is an easy to transport, light and cheap material. And, most importantly, it is a very basic movement.

Physical benefits : it puts our hearts to the limit in a very short time, toning our muscles and speeding up our metabolism. That is, the fat burning effect continues hours after the training has ended.

This summer, jump rope

Mental benefits: being very demanding from the point of view of coordination, it helps us to recover certain patterns of movement and rhythm that are lost over the years.

Cons: Like running, the level of impact (especially for the knees) is high. Mastering the technique is essential.

Calories burned: 750 approx. (depends on weight, age, sex, intensity, etc).

3. Kickboxing:

Combat-related activities are more fashionable than ever.

Physical benefits: In addition to a powerful calorie burner, it defines muscles, enhances endurance and improves coordination.

Mental benefits: helps relieve stress and relaxes.

Cons: Low professional supervision should be performed to avoid injury.

Calories burned: 800 approx. (depends on weight, age, sex, intensity, etc).

4. Walk

It is the perfect activity to put ourselves at our ideal weight and regain shape without damaging our joints, or performing excessive efforts.

Physical benefits: improves our resistance and tones the muscles, especially the lower body.

Mental benefits : oxygenates our mind by promoting active meditation.

Cons: You have to 'stick a little cane' in the intensity to get noticeable results. The 'soft walks' add up but are not enough.

Calories burned: 300 approx. (Depends on weight, age, sex, intensity, etc).

5. Swimming

Blessing for the body and the head, swimming is one of the most complete and least harmful exercises ... as long as the technique is taken care of.

New gadgets so swimming isn't boring

Physical benefits: improves resistance, lung capacity and tones the muscles of the entire body (affecting some areas more than others depending on the style practiced). All this without impact on the joints.

Mental benefits : in addition to generating endorphins, by promoting a state of active meditation, it is a balm for our mind.

Cons : It is essential to have a good technique and know which is the most recommended style, especially if it is practiced to try to alleviate any back problem.

Calories burned: 650 approx. (depends on weight, age, sex, intensity, etc).

6. Paddle:

The social factor makes this sport one of the most fun activities to be fit.

Paddle tennis with Juan Martín, Carolina Navarro and Cecilia Reiter

Physical benefits: improves endurance, tones muscles (especially the dominant arm and lower body) and helps with fat loss.

Mental benefits: enhances reflexes, improves coordination and eliminates stress. It amuses and keeps us mentally agile.

Cons : Continuous braking doesn't do your knees and ankles too well. The elbow can also be hit by hitting the ball.

Calories burned: 700 approx. (depends on weight, age, sex, intensity, etc).
