PLEASE start doing yoga today!!!
Most
people, especially men, think that yoga is very monotonous and helpless in
getting their desire physiques. However, this is not true! No doubt, the
benefits of yoga are myriad. You will find yourself feeling better and more
energetic. Personally, I feel soreness in my muscles the next day of a yoga session
and after a few sessions, I feel my flexibility is increased. Therefore, even a
guy like me, who every weekdays switch on my beast mode lifting in the gym, can
feel the soreness brought by doing yoga, then our perspectives towards and
knowledge of yoga may be too narrow that we have ignored that advantages.
Below
shows all the important reasons why you have to do yoga.
1. Improvement in your flexibility
Flexibility
is of prime importance. It prevents injuries and promotes healthy muscles and
joints. Bad flexibility reduces your body’s ability to stay in proper
posture, limits muscular extensibility and causes muscle imbalances which
hinder our range of motion. When connective tissues are tight and short, you
cannot perform at your best, thus increasing the risk of injury. With good
flexibility, daily activities such as standing, walking, bending and turning,
and weight-lifting are easier to perform. For weight-lifting, poor flexibility
impedes us from getting all our muscles worked and brings us joint injuries as
said earlier, it shortens our range of motion.
2. Toned-up muscles
Holding the postures of yoga can tone up your muscle involved. It is not as
simple as seen. Most postures require you to flex, balance and hold for a long
time. Imagine yourself holding in plank position for a long time. That’s how it
feels like. Also, toned-muscles protect us from illness like arthritis and back
ache, and prevent the old ones from falling easily.

3. Protection on spine
Optimal amount of asanas that involved your back such as backbends, forward
bends and lower back and hip twists, can help to lower the risk of any back
injuries and strengthen the spine, thereby leading to a good posture. Back
injuries can be problematic and one example is hunchback.
4. Improvement of bone health
Researches have shown that bone mineral density in the spine for people who
did yoga regularly increases. From the slow, precise
iyengar style to the athletic, vigorous ashtanga, yoga can build bone health in
your hips, spine, and wrists - the bones most vulnerable to fracture.
5. Happiness increases
After practicing yoga, it is undeniable that people feel happier and more
positive towards life. That feeling stays with you even after you leave the
training room, and surprisingly, it can last for at least a couple of days.
Regularly practicing yoga, you can attain inner peace, relaxation, mental
clarity and reduction in anxiety. More importantly, you will obtain a feeling
of accomplishment, confidence, and a more position mentality towards life.
6. Stronger Lungs
Researchers measured the participant’s chest expansion
and lung volume rates at the start of the study and again six weeks later. The
results show that the people who did yoga had significant improvement in lung
volume and increased exhalation force, as well as improved posture. Their chest
wall had expanded 38 percent in the upper chest, 19 percent in the mid-chest
and 15 percent in the lower chest.
7. Better sleep
Yoga relieve your body, making you comfortable and relaxed. The postures
promotes a sensation that relax your nervous system. With better sleep, this
signifies that you are more alert and concentrated, which can also improve your
productivity.
8. Healthy immune system
In yoga, asanas (yoga postures) and pranayama (breathing regulation in
yoga) ameliorate immune system. Asanas are good for muscles, joints, bones,
cardiovascular system, nervous system and lymphatic system. They are
psychosomatic exercises that can help strengthen the whole nervous system.
Pranayama can help increase physical detoxification and improve immune system.
