« If your main goal is health, well then drop the fitness center »

Physical coach Mads Tömörkènyi, who works with several of Denmark’s best -known sports profiles, now calls for thinking health in a completely different perspective.

Drop the subscription, go outside and use the body as a whole, sounds his call in both media and in ‘Go’ tomorrow Denmark ‘.

This is how it writes TV 2.

« If your main goal is health, well then drop the fitness center. Then come outside and move if it is to take a walk, whether it is gardening or whatever it is, » he explains.

Mads himself has previously been a frequent guest in the training center, where he trained classic strength training. But it’s past.

Today he uses nature as his training space – and recommends others to do the same.

He emphasizes that the body should be used as a whole, not divided into individual muscle groups, as it typically happens in the gym.

Off with the shoes

At the same time, he suggests throwing the shoes and moving barefoot on natural surfaces such as grass and soil – a practice known as grounding.

According to Mads Tömörkènyi, grounding can, among other things, reduce stress, attenuate inflammation, improve sleep and provide more energy.

His explanation is that the body absorbs electrons from the Earth’s surface, which should have a positive impact on health.

If it is squeezing with the motivation to get to the gym, it does not mean that your workout must be deleted.

Instead, you can step out into the garden, throw the shoes and let nature form the frame of your movement.
