For some, snow means putting chains on their cars and staying home because it's too cold. However, for others, snow is almost an addiction, and they're eager to take up skiing, snowboarding, telemark, mushing, and more.
Winter sports , as their name suggests, are seasonal and offer a wide range of benefits. For example, did you know that when you go to the mountains and are at higher altitudes, oxygen levels are reduced. This increases vascular and respiratory activity, which improves our heart rate.
Snow sports allow us to deeply work our abdominal and leg muscles. They also help us improve coordination, balance, and proprioception.
Proprioception is the sense that informs our body of the position of the muscles and regulates the direction and range of movement.
With winter sports, we burn fat and tone our bodies. In the extreme cold we experience, our thermoregulation mechanism prevents our body temperature from dropping, which translates into extra calorie expenditure.
Let's not forget that in these types of sports, adrenaline is released in large doses , and we feel more relaxed and calm. Furthermore, they are sports of self-improvement and perseverance, in which we test ourselves and thus increase our self-esteem.
Finally, winter sports, thanks to the sun and its reflection on the snow, give you just as much tan as if you were on the beach. So, for the most flirtatious, you can show off your good skin tone even in the frigid winter. Of course, your skin must be protected first and foremost.
