No one is missing for this 8th edition of BeFit around Scandinavian wellness! Nordic walking, Scandinavian fitness, Nordic yoga or even Swedish gym, the participants are taken care of. In total, 850 workshops were sold out over the two days. Some are even more complete, like yoga with Mika de Brito or cooking workshops with Thibaut Lefils.
A little extra this year: a ritual bath in cold water, about 4-5°C. Child’s play for osteopath Hemtonkiné, a fan of cold baths. “In Paris, I practiced them at -130 ° C in cryotherapy,” he smiled. From 10 am this Saturday, he gave a Swedish gym class. “This is a training method taken from alpine skiers,” explained the osteopath. We practice this with body weight, because in the past, we thought that adding weights was bad. Here, it is gentle and accessible. » We work on legs, core, mobility but also cardio.
For Hemtonkiné, Scandinavian health is very interesting for health, especially thanks to a diet based on fatty fish. “And we will practice sports more outside, close to nature. Residents of big cities have more health problems related to pollution than people who live close to nature. »
So there is still time to sign up for Hemtonkiné classes on Sunday, September 15 and more to discover the benefits of the Nordic countries.
