Do not walk into Yoga errors

Many beautiful women who are advocating yoga, their slim is the best proof of the Yoga.

You can make surprisingly people are advocating yoga. Although like Partlow, Christie and Madonna figure is very perfect, but many people still do not understand the ancient sport of charm. The Committee noted that the United States fitness Yoga may have other benefits, but on the body with little benefit. General yoga class training increases heart rate and burning calories or even better than slow. Even worse than the action-Yoga lightweight aerobic fitness campaign more effective.

Loughborough University's fitness physiologists Susan · Slipher, Dr. said: "if people think that yoga can make them lose weight and keep fit, they're like wrong.

Yoga can improve the body's flexibility, but on the other parts is not much help. "Statistics show that in recent years, yoga in Europe are very popular, a lot of people treat it as an important means of United Kingdom, there is only one and a half million people practicing yoga, qigong is yoga. In the United States Association for fitness in this study, some women were sent to attend Yoga Qigong class, three times, each time 55 minutes, while the rest of the women were asked not to participate in any of the researchers of the so-called "active fitness".

Yoga class at the beginning of each section will have 5 minutes to relax and yoga breathing adjustment, and then 10 minutes to warm-up time, followed by a 35-minute yoga posture exercises, then 5 minutes of relaxation time.

However, in the eight weeks of study, the researchers found that women take part in yoga classes on average each lesson just consumed 144 kcal of calories, which is equivalent to 55 minutes walking the consumption of calories.

Yoga is not devoid of any merit

United States Fitness Association of the study's author, Wisconsin University fitness and kinematics, Professor John · paakkari said, this is not to say that yoga is good.

They found, and research before measurement, Yoga power of women's physical flexibility increased 13%, mainly on the shoulder and the flexibility of the limbs. Moreover, Yoga also increases the strength of its practitioners, in the latter part of the research, practitioners can do more than push ups 6, at least 14 sit-ups. On average, they can stand on one leg, 17 seconds to maintain than beginners.

Some people may think that, with more body movements of yoga can bring more to the body.

This is for sure, the power of Yoga practitioners moves faster. The researchers found that they consume more calories (55 minutes consumption 237 kcal), while also speeding up heart rate, maximum speed of 62%. Even so, this is only mild aerobic training effects achieved.

In addition, John · paakkari Professor noted that actions more faster Yoga reduces practitioners improve the flexibility, deregulation was also affected.

Actions to accelerate, you would not like the slower movements that, let the muscles and tissues get sufficient tension. United States Fitness Association Chief Sports physiologists Dr. Quaid · Brian said, Yoga should be deemed to be regular cardiovascular exercise can exercise such as running a supplement. He said: "Yoga itself is in order to achieve the purpose of self-training, flesh and bone and skeletal also get some exercise. However, if you work in the practice of Yoga is interspersed some can burn calories in exercise, yoga's real purpose. ”

Not a substitute for other sports

In fact, Yoga incoming Europe time is not long, about 100 years ago, but until the mid-1960s United Kingdom Yoga was founded only Rotary Club.

Later, yoga is becoming more popular in the United Kingdom. United Kingdom Yoga Rotary spokesman ahroon · Gatan, stated: "Yoga instruction was originally in the Church Hall. But some of today's yoga practice forms and 500 years ago in upsurge in India original Yoga is different, because at that time the aim of Yoga meditation meditation, not like today's practitioners primarily to the flexibility of the body. ”

Yoga just appears, just sit and meditate, many years later, began a movement yoga.

Till today, Yoga power is the emergence of many genres. In Western countries, because of people's daily work intensity is high, and yoga can be nursed back to health, mental, so this method will pop out. But experts say that yoga is not a substitute for other sports.
