"Everything will change tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes – you wake up every morning, and is starting today!"

Eat meat only with vegetables, perfectly assimilated and digested as it should with vegetables, otherwise digestion will not be good for your body.

In any case, do not drink tea or even coffee immediately after a meal, especially sweet, as sweet blocks all digestive processes. If you have a sweet tooth - nothing wrong with that - just eat it at least 2 hours before or after a meal.If sweets not mixed with any food - can be useful, but in any case, not immediately after a meal.

Limit consumption of leavened baked products, fast foods, carbonated drinks, fatty and fried foods. Alcohol and coffee raise pressure, it makes sense to stop dinking this at least a month before the start of the tour.

Definitely in the morning a glass of clean water for 15 minutes before eating, after eating try not to drink much - if I want to drink after eating, just rinse the throat and take a few small sips, good if you drink during the day at least 2 liters of pure water, it will greatly improve your immune system and bring the body in tone.

Exercise guidance to prepare for the Ascent of Elbrus:

Runnig. If possible, try to run on soft surfaces, the rubber coating on the stadiums, paths, fields – great fit. Minimize running on asphalt, because you can break down and clog the muscles from such experiments, and try not to run along the trails and roads, because your lungs don't need the whole set of the periodic table. Fresh air of forest trails – perfect for your spirit, your perfect body and health. Will see how it goes week after the beginning of training, and you will have to pull an unstoppable force, again and again to practice. The body is a perfect creature, and as soon as you show him the benefit of loads of training, he will ask for more, knowing that gives himself through training, valuable health and charge natural energy. Need to be patient just 10 days after the beginning of training to convince myself to go to the stadium if you haven't practiced. Your body will quickly remember the youth. Then you are going to want to train more and harder. Ideally to run in the evening or in the middle of the day. Early in the morning only warming up, enhanced training in the morning is not only useful, but too abruptly loaded not awakened body, thus endangering your heart. In the morning very useful: warm-up, stretching, yoga, light jog without heavy loads. In the evening, on the contrary - it is useful to train on a full power. In the end, at the end of your training process in preparation for the climbing, ideally, you should be free to run on a 2-hour workout without stopping, accelerations at 1-1.5 minutes every 15 minutes (acceleration is very good for the heart, and during the ascent, cardiac load will not be so sensitive when properly carried out the training process). In the modern world just to find time to workout is hard,but if you want to feel good on the TOP of ELBRUS-try to cut your schedule in such a way that if in a week was 3-5 exercises for 2 hours, plus a light warm-up for 5-10 minutes in the morning.

Of course, in our practice,the tops have reached those who have never played sports and didn't train. But if you start to train and prepare for the climbing, then on arrival your chances of success reaching the top will be much higher than if you are not prepared. And at the crucial moment when you need to make the final push to the top, you will remember with a smile and gratitude to yourself physical training.

A week before the start of the tour stop training, let the body rest and recover. Here, in the Elbrus load are already in the first days of the climbing program, the spirit and the body quickly returns to normal upon arrival, remembering the training sessions.

A contrast shower to improve immunity. Get into shower and start to switch the water from warm and hot to cool and ice, three approaches, a week after the start of hardening can already stand in ice water for 30 seconds. and more. Will see how your body will be pink and enjoy the rush of blood, asking for more and more testing. Don't overdo it! You should start gradually, alternating warm and cool... and then increase the temperature difference between the water feels. Then, when you'll be swimming in the ice water of the beautiful waterfall "Devichyi Kosy" on the third day of the program.

Vitamins. Recommend a month before the start of the tour to take ascorbic acid, 2-3 vitamins a day, more is not necessary. Vitamins need to be taken systematically, day after day. In the morning, afternoon and evening. Certainly expensive vitamin complexes can also be used, but the effect is not much better than simple vitamins, so you decide. Drink plenty of fresh water, preferably natural! Climber at a height of 3-4 thousand meters should drink up to 4 liters of fluid a day, which would feel perfectly at such heights. Accustom yourself to the water. Clean water brings much more benefits to your body than you think.
