“Yoga Vs Gym”...Which one to choose?

Yoga or Gym...Confused???



Each has its own benefits in our lifestyle and there is no one can really say which one is below or above than other.

According to a large number of fitness and health experts:
Many yoga schools and institutions describe the different benefits of yoga for human body and mind.

On the fitness aspects with yoga you can expect increased flexibility, toning, strengthening to a certain asana, meditation and breathing exercises."

Our Yoga Master Yogi Pramod says, "Workout in gym can easily make you feel tired and hungry and on the other hand yoga revitalizes you and helps in your digestion."
Health and Fitness experts say that while yoga has its different pluses, excluding the odd exceptions (e.g. power yoga). Yoga does not provide the cardiovascular benefits, which are so fundamentally important to all human beings.
"Fat loss and weight loss is not achieved through yoga; this is derived through cardio activities.
Cardio activities could include aerobics, walking, jogging, cycling, and rope skipping, dancing and swimming."



The Yoga-Cardio Combined Schedule (Experts says)


 "For ideal and fast results it is best to merge cardio and yoga each week.
(2-3 days cardio and 3-4 days yoga)

The two can go together each other nicely.
Manage your workout days, one day off each week for rest.
Watch your diet and lifestyle to achieve the best results."


Yoga

With yoga one can look ahead to increased flexibility, toning and strengthening.

You don't need any equipment, just some space for practicing your yoga postures (asana).

You will save the travel time required to go to a gym.

After a yoga session you will feel energetic and fresh.

It helps to get rid of tiredness.

Yoga does not increase hunger.

The ancient and traditional yogic science is developed in such a way that it works on the internal organs of the human body and benefits not just physically, but mentally, intellectually and spiritually also, says yoga master yogi Pramod.


GYM

You need equipment and equipment for the gym and you cannot do it at home.
(Not everyone can afford a gym at home).

Your gym can be far from your home and you can end up taking the precious time to get there.

Many times people turn to bunk of exercises because of distance, weather or for any other reason.

Often after a workout at the gym, you can feel tired and be dealing with some sore parts of the body.

Most workouts in the gym can increase your hunger and lead to overeating.
Gym workouts focus more or less on physical appearance and toning muscles.
Training in the gym has only physical advantages and rarely offers mental motivation.

FOOD AND THE CHAKRAS As culture and consciousness continue their inevitable evolution, it only natural that our physical state is changing too.  As our physical sat change, so must our eating habits.  However, those who think they eat their way to enlightenment may find the path slow and arduous.
