Fortunately, there are not so many common contraindications to physical exertion: borderline mental states, mental disorders and epilepsy, organic heart lesions, malignant tumors, severe spinal trauma, recent craniocerebral trauma, heart attack and some others. In this case, doctors give good only to physiotherapy exercises, and that is not always the case.

Aqua aerobics
Water fitness – an absolute hit in women of all ages. One session on effectiveness is equal to three trainings “on land”: you can lose about 700 calories – the body spends extra energy in order to keep warm.

However, it is not recommended for women with gynecological problems (hypothermia can cause exacerbation) and dermatological diseases: psoriasis, eczema, depriving.

The now popular anti-gravity yoga (this is when people perform various tricks in hammocks suspended from the ceiling) their medical attendants: pregnancy, glaucoma, heart problems, hypertension.

People with hypertension, angina pectoris and heart failure should not be engaged in power simulators, lift the bar and perform isometric (static) exercises.

But on cardiovascular equipment (treadmills, bicycles), you can do it – they are just designed to train the cardiovascular system.

Take into account only your level of preparedness – carry out stress tests with a cardiologist or specialist in functional diagnostics. It will determine the level of loads available to you and the so-called safe pulse zone. Usually it is 75-80% of the level at which there is pain in the heart, dizziness and other unpleasant symptoms. At training, they felt unwell: there was shortness of breath, heartbeat pulse? Reduce the load or rest.
