Generally speaking, when it comes to yoga, the first feeling is that of women’s exercise. It seems that only women are practicing. In fact, it is not true. There are many benefits for men to practice yoga. Yoga is also a good way to exercise and fitness for men. When I heard a male friend say that he not only practiced yoga, but also lost nearly 10 pounds in two months. Can men practice yoga too? Experts believe that yoga is a physical and mental unity exercise, suitable for both men and women, so it is not exclusive to women. If you are confused by the flexibility of the surface of yoga movements, it will undoubtedly be a loss for many men.
The health benefits of yoga
For modern people who are in a hurry, if they cannot learn to relax and vent, it will cause a series of psychological and physiological diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, cervical spondylosis, bone spurs and other diseases will quietly come around. Not only that, when the human body is fatigued, many functions will be affected, making people fall into a sub-healthy state of exhaustion and listlessness. Yoga is a kind of training that consciously adjusts breathing, achieves body balance through body postures, and restores the body’s self-healing ability. The deep breathing of yoga can help focus attention, and the complete and balanced contraction and stretching movements can train the elasticity of the muscles and joints of the whole body, which cannot be achieved by a single exercise such as walking or cycling.
The benefits of yoga for men
Physical toughness increases and physical strength becomes better. Since yoga movements are relatively relaxed and the rhythm is slow, the requirements for flexibility are relatively high. At the same time, yoga emphasizes the method of breathing and bringing the body into a state of calm. Generally speaking, men’s flexibility is not as good as women’s, so it is not very fast at the beginning, but as the practice deepens, it will be found that due to the increase of physical flexibility, men may get more benefits from yoga, and their physical strength It will become better and the mind will be more peaceful. More than women can understand the true meaning of yoga self-cultivation, and secondly, yoga not only sculpts the external image, but also gives people a kind of inner strength. After a period of inside-out, outside-in workouts, people are surprised to find that while losing a few kilograms, the mentality has also changed. Women practice yoga mostly to seek a more perfect body, and they also pay attention to the beauty of posture when doing movements, while men do not pay much attention to the beauty of movements, but can better understand the true meaning of yoga self-cultivation. Although the flexibility of yoga in the primary stage is very important, the more difficult movements are practiced, the higher the strength requirements are. Many movements are almost impossible for women to complete, but men can easily complete.
