Corendon Airlines aims to make healthy living an integral part of the travel experience through its new Fit&Fly YouTube video series, developed in collaboration with internationally renowned fitness trainer Noyan Dülek. The series is designed to encourage travellers to feel better and stay active while flying, as Corendon Airlines continues to create experiences that add value to every stage of the journey.
Combining his academic background in sports sciences with more than 25 years of industry experience, Dülek has created a ‘7-Minute Seated Circulation and Posture Exercise Series’ that can be safely and easily performed in an aircraft seat, without disturbing other passengers.
Bringing movement to the skies
Remaining immobile for long periods during a flight causes blood circulation to slow down and leaves muscles passive. This can lead to swelling, stiffness, fatigue in the legs, and general physical discomfort. The human body is designed for movement; when movement stops, circulation slows down. Even small, controlled movements performed within the limited space of an aircraft cabin can support blood circulation and stimulating lymphatic flow and reduce muscle stiffness and tension in the back, neck, and shoulders.
To help counter the effects of prolonged inactivity, the Fit&Fly video series includes a variety of short exercise routines for neck and shoulder relief, posture and spinal mobility, active blood circulation, lower-body and leg circulation support, and to alleviate jetlag.
