NORDIC WALKING ( 20' )

Besides the water training, a prominent role in the sporting activities of the hotel is played by Nordic walking and power walking.

A walk in itself is an excellent form of exercise, but accompanied with a stick or decisive movements of the arms it sets the whole body in motion is such a way that it does not overtax the joints, also providing great help in overcoming excess weight.

What do we need to have a go at exercising like this? According to hotel physiotherapist Viktória Nemes, a pair of trainers and determination, as the Nordic walking of Finnish origin and the power walking from the United States which is taking the world by storm may be pursued irrespective of age or state of fitness. Of course, for Nordic walking a special stick is also needed, of length suited to body height, which is available to guests in our hotel. It is important to warm up together before training, and for eager participants to learn the correct movements during the first few sessions.

Those relaxing here on holiday in our hotel may opt for lots of forms of exercise free of charge. There has never been a better opportunity for trying these out under the supervision of experts, and the ones which appeal to you may also be pursued later, at home. Furthermore, after mastering the basics, the "sport walking" mentioned above can even be continued alone and without further expense.

XBODY ( 30' )

Fat burning, toning, health and rehabilitation with the application of space technology
The EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) technology stimulates the body to do intense muscle work which is similar to a dumbbell workout. It is, however, much more efficient.

Some reasons:

Training program lasting less time
Training without joint strain
Simultaneous stimulation of the surface layer and core muscles during the training course
With the rejuvenation of the body, calorie consumption also increases
Higher level of performance, increased body awareness, beautiful posture

FAT BURNING, TONING, ATHLETIC APPEARANCE
XBody works the whole body simultaneously. The abdomen, thighs, buttocks, back and arms work at the same time. Moreover, XBody is perfect for cellulite treatment, as the intense external treatment of the layers of fat on the surface of the body gets rid of the cellulite as well. One of the positive things in XBody is that the pleasant massage session following the workout helps get rid of the overwhelming feeling of fatigue.

HEALTH AND REHABILTITATION
XBody reaches far beyond the effects of active workout and hobby exercising. Apart from the well toned body and the developed muscles, it also has an important role in the maintenance of health and rehabilitation. XBody can easily be applied for rehabilitation, as the activation of the muscles can be done even when in a lying position.

The Risk of Heart Attack Decreases
Due to the fact that the workout also develops the cardiac muscles, the risk of heart attack decreases as well.

Combating Overweight
Following the workout session, the maximum load of the muscles also significantly increases calorie consumption, so the EMS technology can play an important part in combating the excess weight.

Osteoporosis
Well-built muscles can be an effective means of preventing osteoporosis, as the larger mass of adhesive muscles acts as an external support to the body structure, and by forcing the bones supporting the weight to compensate, it contributes to their strengthening.

Proper Posture
Compared to traditional workout methods, the advantage of XBody is that besides the surface layer muscles, it also stimulates the hard to reach core muscles, and so back and lower back pain, and spinal hernia can also be treated.

Diabetes
Prior to the session, consultation with your attending doctor and the precise compliance with the instructions of the trainer is crucial.

Contraindications

Neurological diseases
Pacemakers
Hemophilia
Hemorrhagic fevers, acute viral and bacterial processes
Pregnancy

CRYOSAUNA ( 2' )

The cryosauna uses cold as a therapeutic tool to great effect in the areas of healing, beauty and slimming diets. The unique technology of the cryosauna makes it possible for a person to endure the low temperature in comfort for a short time and to enjoy all its positive effects.

The effect known as cold shock is in operation in the cryosauna, the efficacy of which has long been demonstrated in the area of therapy. In a similar way to ice packs and vascular exercises using hot and cold water, the use of the ice sauna is also extremely effective in the treatment of inflammation, in pain relief and in fat burning.

The cryosauna is the antithesis of the traditional sauna, as it does not subject the body to high temperatures, but to extremely low temperatures of -120 to -170 °C. You needn’t be afraid of “freezing” in the great cold, however, as the air in the sauna is exceedingly dry. One treatment lasts for 1-3 minutes at most. The temperature drops constantly over 30 seconds to the desired level, then remains unchanged at the temperature attained for the required time period. Depending on the purpose for using the cryosauna, it is worthwhile taking a course of treatment comprising 10-20 sessions.

Don’t feel bad because of the cold! You body does not come into contact with cold damp air during the treatment, and you needn’t think of being plunged into cold water, but of the healing action of cold dry air with its beneficial effect on the body.

When using the cryosauna the legs are protected by woollen boots, which are provided by the hotel to all guests. During the treatment it is important to wear a cotton bathing suit or underwear. In the cyrosauna, only the body comes into contact with the cold dry air, not the head, so you can breathe the surrounding air at an agreeable temperature during the treatment, and you will not feel claustrophobic.

The cryosauna treatment is a decidedly pleasant experience. The ice sauna is special in terms of both appearance and feeling. Stepping into the bamboo covered cabin is an agreeable sensation, which in its colour and material recalls the softness of vegetation rather than the negative feel of cold water.

Cryosauna is suggested for…

Analgesic
As a result of the action of extreme cold, anti-inflammatory and analgesic hormones are released in the human body, and endorphin production is stepped up. Under the influence of these your general condition improves and pain tolerance also increases. A course of treatment is eminently suitable for the healing of sprains, fractures and tendovaginitis, and even drug treatment may be avoided due to its effects.

Rebirth by slimming
The therapeutic power of the cryosauna can also be used to advantage in the efficacy of a slimming diet. Under the influence of great cold, the body mobilises all its energy reserves in order to warm all parts of the body, or to maintain them at the familiar temperature. A measurable result of this energy consumption is loss of calories and body weight reduction.
In and of itself the cryosauna will not produce the expected results, if this course of treatment is not coupled with physical exercise and an appropriate diet.

Beauteous skin
The cryosauna has a great effect on the body tissues, systemic circulation, the joints and the epithelial tissue. The cold air at -170 °C optimises and even improves metabolic processes, thus increasing skin flexibility. Following multiple usage, the skin visibly increases in beauty, and the battle against cellulite can also be successfully engaged.

VACUSTYLER ( 30' )

The muscle-strengthening effect is completed with additional ones: the current stimulates metabolism and has a positive influence on the function of other tissues as well. Sympathetic stimulation causes the release of free fatty acids in the subcutaneous layer, which also has a lipolytic effect. Electrical stimulation affects blood flow and lymph flow as well, and reduces oedema. The end result is a thinner fatty tissue, better muscle tone and more flexible skin.
