There are exercises for the people who are not physically very active which are very effective in boosting of venous circulation.<\/p>\n

One of them is the imitation of \u201estork walk\u201c.<\/h3>\n

Stand upright leaning on your feet. Raise right knee at a right angle, while at the same time raising left heel and lean on your toes.<\/p>\n

Repeat with the other leg. Repeat 10 times for each leg.<\/p>\n

What happens while you do this exercise?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The remote parts of your legs (around the ankles), called the \u201evein pump\u201c, muscles contract and this pushes vein blood upwards.<\/p>\n

When muscles are relaxed, the venous valves prevent this blood from backflow into the legs, pushing it towards the heart. The result is better venous circulation<\/strong>, the blood does not collect in the legs and no venous insufficiency can develop. Therefore, in the case of suspected varicose veins, walking is crucial.<\/p>\n

Additional exercise to keep your veins healthy, the so-called veins exercise<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Warming up<\/strong>
    \n<\/strong>Lay on your back, \u201ccycle\u201c for about 30 seconds<\/li>\n
  2. Stretching<\/strong>
    \n<\/strong>Take lunge position, stretch the muscles of your straight leg for about 15 seconds each time and repeat the exercise five times with each leg.<\/li>\n
  3. Rolling<\/strong>
    \n<\/strong>Sit down, alternately raise your feet to toes and heels, repeat 15-20 times.<\/li>\n
  4. Pulling<\/strong>
    \n<\/strong>Lay on your back. Pull both knees to your chest, repeat about 10 times.<\/li>\n
  5. Vein walking<\/strong>
    \n<\/strong>Walking is a sporting activity that is particularly beneficial for your veins. A healthy walk activates the muscle pump, thus boosting in a natural way the venous return of the blood to the heart without overloading your body.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This type of walking is a bit faster than the normal pace and it is suitable for all age groups.<\/p>\n


    \n<\/strong>Vein walking technique<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Find the pace that suits you best.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Start at a slow pace<\/li>\n
    2. Keep your knees slightly bent, land heel first<\/li>\n
    3. Transfer your weight from heels to toes<\/li>\n
    4. Push with your toes against the ground in direction of walking<\/li>\n
    5. Swing your arms at an angle<\/li>\n
    6. The arm moving forward must be the opposite of the leg moving forward (left arm-right leg).<\/li>\n
    7. Consciously breathe in and out<\/li>\n
    8. Look at least 4-5 metres ahead<\/li>\n
    9. Allow your shoulders to hang loose<\/li>\n
    10. Push out your chest<\/li>\n
    11. Walk for at least 20 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
