A little about varicose veins
Varicose expansion is one of the types of changes in veins, which is expressed in their expansion, as well as in an increase in length, the formation of prisoners and balls.
According to statistics, women get 3 times more often than men.Of course in the occurrence of varicose veins are, first of all, the congenital weakness of the venous wall, vessel anomalies, as well as a change in the elasticity of the muscle layer and valve deficiency.The speed of blood flow itself in expanded veins usually slows down, which often leads to the formation of blood clots.
The development of varicose veins is facilitated by the difficulty of flowing blood due to thrombosis of veins, constipation, as well as compression of the veins of the pelvis with a tumor or in women with a pregnant uterus.
Sometimes varicose veins develop in people who are engaged in heavy physical labor or in people whose professional activities are associated with a long stay on the legs (surgeons, hairdressers, waitresses, etc.).
With varicose veins on the lower extremities, surface, subcutaneous veins are more often affected.The disease develops gradually.Patients often complain of the feeling of heaviness in the leg, rapid fatigue, swelling - at first coming, and in the later stages of the disease constant.
Sometimes varicose ulcer also develops on the affected leg.Extended veins are usually visible through the skin.Treatment depends on the severity and prevalence of the pathological process.
In the very initial stages with varicose veins, it is a bandage of legs with an elastic bandage or wearing rubber stockings, with a pronounced varicose veins - surgical treatment.
Training for varicose veins
But, despite such an attack, we still want to train, maintain our health, grow strength, muscles and preserve and even improve the figure.
Is it possible?Perhaps, but with some restrictions.In this case, our enemy is the pressure that is created in the limbs with increased blood flow.
It complicates the operation of venous valves, raising blood up to the heart.Blood stagnates, weak veins do not withstand.In the vertical position of the body, the pressure is maximum, but you should sit down how it decreases, to lie down - it decreases even more, raise your legs above your head - it comes down to a minimum.This is what we need to use in our training.
Let's analyze all parts of the body separately:
Quadriceps and gluteal muscles
Unfortunately, almost all the main basic exercises with weights are now contraindicated to you.This includes dead rods, squats, hack-sedimentation, frontal squats, attacks and the like.These movements significantly increase intra -abdominal pressure, as well as the pressure inside the veins on the legs that you should be afraid.
However, one wonderful exercise remains that will allow you to relatively safely support and even increase the mass and strength of the legs and gluteal muscles - this is Bench Presses.
Since the legs in this case work above the heads, a significant increase in pressure on the walls of the vessels does not occur, the veins if they experience a certain load, then during the set itself.
This is only a few seconds, after which you remain in the simulator until the next set, leaving your feet on the platform and allowing venous blood to calmly go to your heart, without expanding the weak blood vessels.
Having completed the planned number of approaches, lie in the simulator for a couple of minutes all the same purpose - allow venous blood to leave the limbs freely, then get up and continue the training.
As an additional exercise, you can use extensions of the legs in the simulator.Since you are sitting, the pressure in the vessels of the legs is smaller, and the weight in this exercise is not particularly large.
Although extensions are not considered a basic exercise, they are still able to bring certain benefits.At least, they will definitely improve blood flow in the legs, and this is an important thing for varicose veins.
Biceps of the hips
Fighting the legs lying in the simulator.It is lying, since the “sedentary” simulator will not suit you.The recommendation is the same - do not rush to get up between the sets, lie down a little, bending your knees (already without weighing), so that venous blood went to heart without difficulty, and then proceed to the next approach.At the end of the exercise, the same thing - lie down a couple of minutes with raised shins.
Caviar
Bench Presses socks in the Bench Presses simulator.The starting position is the same as with the traditional Bench Presses legs, but the heels should play beyond the edge of the platform, you will only be by the strength of the IKR, not the hips.During the exercise, do not turn off your knees, let them be slightly bent and fixed - it is safer for popliteal tendons.The movement will occur only in the ankle joint.Unfortunately, all other IRC exercises are dangerous in your case.
In training muscles, the top of the body of the restrictions will be smaller, but the principle is all the same - to provide minimal pressure on the walls of the vessels of the legs and minimize blood stagnation in the lower extremities.To do this, try to do all the exercises sitting or, if possible, lying.
No need to burn from your chest standing, raise the bar with a biceps standing, perform french press standing, and so on - all this can be done sitting.The pressure in any case will be less, and the training effect is quite solid.
Back
Forbidden: dead rods, rods of the rod in the slope, the dumbbell rod with one hand standing in the slope.Pulling up in question-after all, the position of the body is vertical, which means that the pressure in the vessels of the legs is maximum, although the muscles do not work there.Here it is worth experimenting and looking at the reaction of problem areas.
Alternative: craving down to the chest on a high block or using the lever simulator sitting, craving to the belt in the simulator or on a low block sitting, craving down on a high block with his back with his back on the bench, hands rises to the sides (for the rear deltoids), lying with a stomach on a high horizontal bench (also on the bench).
Breast
All French Press Movement and Hands Lying on the Barn are safe.It is also advisable to put your legs on a bench in order to reduce blood flow resistance in the vessels.This practice is not particularly welcome in gyms, as it reduces stability, but in your situation a high position of the legs is more important.
After some practice, you will learn to easily maintain balance, although the presence of a trainer or a training partner will not interfere.Excessions on the bars and Bench Press on an inclined bench in question - you can try and look at the reaction of the veins.
Shoulders
All exercises for the shoulders can only be performed sitting.This is the Chest Press, and the lifts of the hands to the sides, and even the draft of dumbbells to the chin (as an option - armpits).Carrying to the chin (broach) can also be performed on a low block lying on a bench (or on the floor) with your feet to the block.
Triceps
BENCH PRESS Bengs lying with a narrow grip (legs are raised on a bench), as well as all kinds of extensions of hands and French bench press.
Biceps
The rise of the dumbbells on the biceps (simultaneously or alternately), sitting on a bench with an inclined back (it is advisable to lift the legs and rest on something).Pulling up on the crossbar with a grip from below - in question.You can try and look at the reaction of the veins.
Press
Floor Crunch with legs on the elevation, Crunch on an inclined bench.Add Crunch here with twisting the body to the sides, and you will have a complete set for building the muscles of the middle of the body without any danger to veins on the legs.Bottom back
Hyperectstenesia in the simulator.But the simulator is desirable where the legs are fixed horizontally, and you lean down and Straighten Up to the parallel of the floor body.
Aerobics
Among the Aerobic exercises dangerous for veins are a vertical bicycle, a stepper (an emulator of climbing the stairs) and possibly a moving path (this is individually, you need to try). Ideal aerobic load - swimming.Suppose horizontal exercise bike and possible elliptical machines ("ski").
Start training with light loads and safest exercises and gradually build up intensity.But whatever exercises you do, follow the reaction of the veins on your legs.Their swelling after training, pain in the legs or edema - these are signs of deterioration.You need to look for the exercise of the "culprit".
Use various creams that improve the condition of the vessels of the legs.Learn about other methods of strengthening the walls of the veins from your doctor.
Attention: Starting to any training program, agree on it with your doctor!
