Adding Yoga to Your Workout

A few key yoga moves to integrate into your workout

The idea of working out is to either improve one’s physical fitness or to maintain an increased state of physical fitness. Whether you are strength training, improving endurance, working on athletic performance or trying to lose weight, the overall point is to increase fitness. With that in mind, we should always try to find ways to improve the effectiveness of exercise. If you are looking to improve your workout routine, introducing some yoga exercises can be a great way to add something different.

Most people don’t realize that yoga can have benefits for almost any type of fitness routine. The impression that many people have is that it is a low intensity variety of stretches and poses that only offer a limited range of benefits. While yoga might not have the same intensity as some types of exercises, it does a whole lot more than stretch the body and the benefits can apply to weight training, cardio workouts, weight loss and even athletics. These exercises can help the individual to build strength, increase flexibility, improve circulation and much more.

The chair position

This is a relatively simple yoga pose that can provide a variety benefits to your workout. It can improve the strength of the ankles, calves and thighs and it can also improve the strength of the core muscles in your lower back. It works to stretch and release tension from the chest and shoulders. You can also increase the effect that it has on the thigh muscles by placing an object like a small ball in between your legs when you are performing the pose.

The cat stretch

This is a yoga pose that requires a few movements to achieve the desired effect. This can be great for your back. It stretches the muscles in the back and it improves spine flexibility. It can also help to build strength in the shoulders and forearms. On top of that, this is one of the exercises that can be effective for improving circulation.

The revolved triangle

The revolved triangle might require a little more practice than other yoga poses, but it is a good exercise that has some benefits. First, the difficulty of this pose comes from the necessary balancing, so it can be good for improving balance. This exercise can improve the strength and flexibility of the legs and it is especially good for working on your hips and hamstrings. It can also be good for relieving pressure on the spine, which makes it a good exercise for people that have problems with lower back pain.

When it comes to adding yoga to your workout routine, part of what you are going to want to do is look for moves that will apply well to your fitness goals. Most people can add yoga to their routine without taking any time away from their regular workout. It can be a great way to improve flexibility and strength and many of the moves are simple enough for people of all fitness levels.
