I entered the world of fitness because of my personal struggles with weight. I also experienced how good it can make you feel even during bad times. That’s why I encourage all types of exercise, including yoga. If it’s good for you, I want you to do it and be your healthiest. Yoga is one of those exercise forms that offers many benefits. It’s also complementary to gym and kettlebell training. It builds strength, flexibility, and endurance but in a different way. If you’ve exercised for a while, you may even recognize some poses as bodyweight exercises you’ve done at the gym.
Increasing flexibility and strengthening muscles helps reduce chronic pain. It increases the range of motion and helps reduce joint pressure for people with arthritis. It builds core muscles to relieve back pain. Yoga is an exercise that doesn’t burn as many calories as other types of exercise. It does burn more than you would if you didn’t do it. It also builds muscles, which increases your metabolism. That helps with weight control. Excess weight can cause pain in the hips, knees, and ankles. It promotes improved posture, which also prevents back pain.
Inflammation is your body’s way of fighting invaders. It protects us when it’s acute. However, chronic inflammation is a killer that causes problems ranging from heart disease to arthritis, diabetes, and Crohn’s disease. Yoga can help reduce it. Studies show that the blood’s biochemical markers identifying inflammation are lower when people practice yoga.
Yoga is more than just doing poses. It includes deep breathing exercises and stress control with meditation. Controlled breathing not only reduces stress. It also improves oxygenation. That makes the heart more efficient and reduces the effort it has to make. You’ll also get the same benefits as strength training and improved bone health. One study showed it reversed osteopenia which ultimately leads to osteoporosis.
