Yoga As An Exercise Routine At Home
 |
You may be at the beginning of your transition from the regular gym (where there are already racks of dumb-bells and weight-lifting equipment) to your home gym (where you just have your floor and a TV). And you may be wondering what will happen to your budget and why you left the real gym in the first place.
However, what if you considered the opportunity of not requiring any equipment whatsoever for exercising at home?
I think this exercise suggestion will pertain more to the ladies who do not feel the need to build muscle mass, so the gentlemen may want to read this article as more of a supplemental idea.
It may be my take on Western culture, or it may very well be what Western culture’s stance on fitness, but I do feel as though our society puts a high priority on shredding muscle-fibers, grunting in pain from deadlifts and heavy squats as the preferred exercise routine. Pretty much everything coming from the outside in order to look good.
Focusing on the outside appearance first before directing attention to the inner workings of the inside seems so backwards, don’t you think? At least, it seems like such a huge disconnect.
Indeed, it is a bit backwards to work vigorously on the exterior while we lift weights, instead of connecting with our organs on the inside–organs that provide life and oxygen to the rest of our body that is being shredded with weight lifting. There must be some type of fitness regimen that unites the exterior with the interior into one.
That is why I really do recommend that you consider yoga as a great method of physical fitness in your home gym. I find that yoga requires no lifting equipment, no cross-trainer shoes, and nothing else but me on a yoga mat in front of my TV.
The wonderful thing about yoga is how much sweat comes out just from standing in (what seems to be) easy-looking poses for several breaths. I say easy-looking because in actuality they do not feel that easy. They require so much focus and channeled energy as they use the energy of random parts of the body that gets neglected normally.
What is also nice is that I happen to live in a house where there is ample natural daylight coming in from the porch, and I have plenty of hardwood floor space as well. But, even if I lived in a shoebox of an apartment in Westwood, I could still manage to do my stretching poses, because I never have to leave the perimeter of my yoga mat. Never.
It feels so great to address multiple stress points in your body while doing a few yoga poses. These points do not get touched very often on a regular day-to-day basis, and aren’t brought to light until you did that sweat-inducing pose. With all of that sweat coming out, you know you are using a lot of strength, and you are getting rid of a lot of toxins as well.
