Broga yoga anytime fitness1/17/2024 One day when we were doing a moderate distance race (600 yards, I think) in gym class, he was held up at his previous class and arrived late. I knew a guy in school who wasn't particularly competitive, at least not in terms of athletics. A guy might actually be more likely to injure himself trying to keep up with the girls. If you were in a room full of men, you would be much more likely to injure yourself. Retiredjg wrote:As I'm sure you know, men tend to be more competitive than women. A few times a day I walk up and down 4 floors of stairs 3 times (as soon as I start to get a little "glow" I stop because do not want to sit around sweating in my work clothes.) If I need to talk to some one I get up and walk to their office. If I need the mens room, instead of the one by my office I walk to one a few minutes a way. The exact benefit will depend on which flavor you are going.Īs to the sitting I make it a habit to get up at least every hour and at least walk to the other end of the building and back, and often throw in some stairs. Yoga will help with flexibility and balance. That said if you have very little time you could go that route and while not optimal it will still help. Add the high intensity on top of that if want explosive power. Short high intensity interval work outs are very popular and have their place, but nothing really beats traditional endurance training if you want endurance. Long brisk walks, jogging, running, biking are the best thing for that in my opinion. Sounds like you could use some endurance and yoga really will not really do that. Even if you mean it takes a few sets over the course of one visit to the gym that is not bad. If by one sitting you mean you can step up to a bar and crank out 20 pull-ups with good form in one go (one set) (all the way down to straight arms, all the way up to chin above bar, body still, no jerking thrash) that is very good. You are way out of my league and would intimidate most people at the gym with those stats. , but I can do about 60 crunches, 40 push-ups and 20 pull-ups in one sitting. Doing both is better, though !Ĭaduceus wrote. If you don't have an athletic bent, I would choose Yoga. It is just fundamental to pretty much anything.īoth Yoga and Pilates will help you with balance, which is ultra important as you age. Having a strong core will help you in every physical activity that you might do, be that walking, golfing, kayaking, pretty much anything. My hobbies are skate skiing in the winter, and biking the rest of the year. I am pretty athletic, even at 57, and having a strong core is a fundamental factor in safely enjoying an active life. You can hurt yourself doing Yoga, so take it slow. I do plan on moving into a local, instructor led class in a few months, but I am slowly bringing myself into a more flexible state. I am definitely seeing progress in my flexibility, and in calming my mind and self-talk. It is entry level, and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. The instructor is Judy Barr, she is associated with the Cleveland Clinic, and the title is " Yoga For Everybody". I have only been doing Yoga for a couple of months, and I am just doing it at home, following along with a dvd. They are similar in their focus upon breathing, posture and flexibility. I tried pilates and found it more difficult than yoga. I have been doing yoga weekly for about 8 months and think it is a good complement to aerobic exercise and weight machines that I use 2 to 3 times a week. Yoga is excellent for flexibility and the spine. IMO, barring physical limitations, everyone should be doing some form of cardio exercise regularly.Īs we age, we tend to get less flexible and stiff in our joints. Doing one or some combination of these 4 to 5 times a week would truly get you in shape. This could be walking, elliptical, bicycle, swimming or others. It sounds as if you should be doing some form of aerobic exercise for cardiovascular health. Just because you are the right weight/BMI does not mean you are fit. I assume by fit you mean that you are the right weight/BMI for your height. You state that you are fit but that you do not like sports and the only activity you ever did for any period of time was swimming.
