Color Walk, the walk that helps to find objects of a specific color to regenerate body and mind

That each color is able to generate different emotions It has been known for some time, as are the enormous benefits of chromotherapy. Why then not exploit these positive effects to make a physical activity more pleasant which, if made constantly, is a cure -all for physical and mental health?

Let’s talk about the walk, a good habit that it should find some place in everyone’s everyday life But that, often, due to work, family, various commitments and above all laziness, ends up becoming occasional.

To spur on the right shoes and leave the house each one uses the method they prefer but among the variants of the walk, one of the funniest and most current is the one that takes the name of Color walk.

Practicing it is very simple, as explained by personal trainer Martina Baiardi: «Before starting You have to decide a color on which to focus on and during the path commit to finding all the objects of that color with your gaze». Which does not matter: «The first time you can opt for green, which is certainly easier to identify, but then to make everything more challenging you can choose increasingly difficult colors. For example, each option is valid, for example at the last walk I chose the rose because I am a great lover of this color and I started looking for flowers, houses, but also small pieces of paper or candies on the ground and written on billboards ».

Even if it may seem a banality to focus on something specific, in this case a color, It serves to relax the nervous system and to expand the benefits of the movement. «Very often when we practice low impact physical activity like walking we think of the commitments that await us once you return home, what should have been done before, to the problems of work, to the commitments of the day after and much more. In short, we never detach and while the body moves and discharges, the head continues to work ».

Focus on the search for the nuance you have in your head instead of Live the present moment And this propitiates the release of endorphins, known as the hormones of the good mood “which help to set aside tensions and stress, to reconnect us with the world and to draw the utmost benefit from walking”.

By sharpening the view, you are pleasantly surprised to discover how many things we have around but, due to the poor attention, we ignore and “just try the Walk color even once to notice how, in the end, you feel much more regenerated than when you make a simple walk”.

Also listen music It could be a solution to isolate yourself from problems and fully live the activity but we are so accustomed to doing it that in reality it is not always effective. «How many times even with the headphones heated, do we realize that we really don’t really listen to certain songs because we were thinking about the other? Instead, the Walk color requires to stay there with her head so as not to lose the colors ».

This is not only good for the mind but also to the body, because spurs not to give up. «Having a goal, albeit playful, that goes beyond the performance makes you forget the effort a little, or boredom if you are not lovers of the movement, perhaps pushing to walk once more, to prolong the duration or to vary the path every time To find new colors. In doing so, without almost realizing it, you also increase the physical benefits of the walk that are many, starting from those related to weight loss but not only. “Adding a low impact activity to your extra -training routine really supports so much loss of fat mass and promotes digestion, then reduces abdominal swelling,” recalls the expert.

The color Walk if necessary it can also become a color runAs long as it does not run with specific objectives such as a tender “for which it is good to remain concentrated and follow the indications that that important effort requires. If, on the other hand, you go out for a medium -beating pleasure trip to hunt the colored objects, it can be a valid ally. In a historical moment in which we spend most of the day inventing tricks to not give in to sedentary lifestyle It is fundamental. For adults but also for young people, who play and have more and less outdoors, “concludes Martina Baiardi.
