Staying on the subject of stress, I wanted to talk about YOGA as an option for relieving stress. It has been said that yoga by itself will probably not result in weightloss, reason being that the exercises do not raise our heart rate, which is a very important element in fat burning.
Meditation, control breathing, and stretching are some of what is found within yoga, and they are key elements to conquering stress. One major point I wanted to mention, is that yoga helps reduce cortisol levels (mentioned in the previous post). A person can do any amount of abdominal workout, but if that person is highly stressed, chances are that you will maintain fat in the mid section.
Yoga is a great option to incorporate into our lives, it will help with flexibility, stress control, sleep, anti aging, the list goes on and on. If you are stressed or just want to add some zen into your life try some yoga. Stay healthy guys.
Yoga is something that I've never considered, I think its because of the pace ( slow). Hey, if it has all these wonderful benefits I should at least try. I will update you guys on what video I get and my experience.
