"Stuck in a Rut?"

Treadmill. Weights. Treadmill. Weights. Treadmill…..Stuck in a rut? Is your workout the same old repetition of cardio and weights which makes you feel like a robot just going through the motions and not really getting that adrenaline rush or even enjoying it? Sure, it was fun when you started, but now, 3 months later, its just sooooooooooooooo borring!


What you need is a c-h-a-n-g-e!

If you are looking for a challenge and want to try something which pushes your body to perform at its peak, then Yoga is your answer. Surprised? Let me guess, you are on of those people who thinks yoga is for old people who don’t really want to break a sweat and all that “breathe in, relax, breathe out”looks too easy breezy for you! It’s a common misconception many people have. Let me repeat: MISCONCEPTION ( also called a delusion!).

Having practiced yoga for almost a decade now, I have personally seen and experienced the amazing benefits one gets from taking up this form of physical exercise on a regular basis. According to yoga, it is through the practice of asanas (postures) that one is able to strengthen the physical body. And let me put it this way, it makes you WORK.

Yoga encapsulates strengthening every, single, part of your body, from the inside out. And there are a myriad of reasons why you should try it. Here are just a few: increased strength, improved digestion, increased metabolic rate, better blood circulation (clear skin and rosy cheeks!), increased lung power, stamina boosting, improved immune function, greater flexibility, the list goes on and on and on :)

The beauty of this form of exercise is that you can make it as tough, or as easy, as you need it to be! Join a power yoga class and burn those calories through repetitions of suryanamaskars. Or take a beginners class and work on static poses which invigorate the body and challenge the core. Add three classes on simple, traditional yoga into your weekly workout plan. Give it a month and watch your body say a BIG thank you!
