Fitness & Health
Nordic Walking
The use of walking sticks turns walking into an exercise, with which you also use the muscles of your upper body. Nordic Walking is ideal for both, beginners as well as sports enthusiasts. Nordic Walking burns more calories and is a very good preventive sport for back pain. If you would like to get fit and want to have fun at the same time, Nordic Walking is the sport for you.
Yoga
Yoga has a calming, balancing effect on many people and helps therefore to counteract the effects of stress. In addition, breathing exercises and mediation can be used for peace-of-mind, to reflect about our own behaviour towards other people and to live a more positive life.
Morning gym
This activity helps you to improve your posture, to understand, correct and control your own body better. These exercises are not only about physical activity, but also about a better psychical perception of your body.
Belly, legs, bottom
If you wish to have a flat belly, firm thighs and a tight bottom, the exercises which we have prepared for you will help you reach your goal.
Mobilisation and Stretching
To have a healthy back, we need 3 components: Mobilisation, strenghtening and stretching. The most important component is the strengthening, because a healthy back needs strong back muscles, as well as strong shoulder, bottom and stomach muscles. To begin with, the backbone is mobilised and joints and muscles are warmed up. Balance exercises are also part of the programme to achieve better body stability. After the strengthening, final stretching will be exercised.

Healthy back
Nowadays the number one health problem is back pain. With these exercises we help you to relax your muscles as the cause of pain mostly lies in the muscle fibers, which have contracted and cannot relax anymore. Wrong movements and a lack of exercise are mostly the cause for back pains.
