Summer holidays are an opportunity for rest and relaxation, but also for more physical activity. The beach, walks in nature, swimming and other activities help us maintain our physical condition and improve our health. That's when we make the biggest promises to ourselves. That's when we give an appointment in September to take a walk every afternoon, nature weekend getaway, gym, Pilates and yoga sessions 2 times a week. When we return from vacation, it is important to chase our goals and to continue exercising. Physical exercise has many benefits for our health, both physically and mentally. It helps us maintain our weight, strengthen our muscles and bones, improve our cardiovascular health, reduce stress and take off our energy and good mood.
If we have not exercised systematically during the holidays, it is important to start gradually. We can start with 15-20 minutes of mild exercise and gradually increase its intensity and duration.
In addition to general exercise, it is a good opportunity to start a new sports hobby. Sport can help us meet new people, have fun and improve our mental health.
There are many different types of sports to choose from. It is important to choose a sport that we like, that suits our fitness level and that we can practice in a comfortable environment for us:
- Start running or swimming
- Join a gym
- Find a team to play basketball, volleyball or football
- Take dance lessons
- Engage in yoga or Pilates
Whatever we choose, the important thing is to start and stay on top of our goals. Physical activity is an investment in our own health and well-being. But sport and exercise also have their secrets. Attention needs to be paid to the bones, the muscular system and the heart.
It is also important to have at our disposal products with muscle relief properties and repairing action: From the weights and friction they cause to our hands in the gym, from the "popping" caused by dancing on the legs, from the painful irritation that long distance running brings to the heels and chest.
ATHONITES MULTICARE BALM gives us the solution: It is an enhanced nourishing and repairing balm that offers deep nourishment thanks to its rich composition in Athonites’ herbs. It is an organic, "miraculous" balm with multiple beneficial effects on the health and appearance of the skin, with a unique ability to repair and protect the epidermal barrier, to deeply care for dehydrated, "cracked" skin, superficial wounds, scars, bruises and abrasions.
The secret of its immediate and deep action lies in its ingredients of 99.3% natural origin and 77.6% organic such as plantago, mallow, St. John's wort, achillea, chamomile, organic beeswax, propolis, sodium hyaluronate, alkanna and centella extracts. It is naturally scented with cinnamon essential oil.
It suits very dry, dehydrated and cracked skin that peels to areas such as hands, elbows, ankles and heels. It offers immediate care in order to relieve and soothe after chemical and thermal burns and to offer care after dermatological treatments and tattoos.
Relaxing Body Balm for warm-up and muscle recovery
An equally valuable asset in our sports backpack is the ATHONITES RELAXING BODY BALM, a relaxing cream for tired muscles, muscle recovery after extreme training sessions and even during warm-up (CrossFit / Tennis / Football).
