We all know that we should be moving our bodies regularly because exercise is important to our physical and mental health. But does it matter how we break a sweat, or are all workouts good enough, as long as we do them?
When a group of doctors was asked about the best forms of physical activity, one was a clear favorite, above weightlifting, running, and brisk walking: yoga.So, what’s so great about yoga?
Well, it has the benefits of being a workout and relaxing your busy mind at the same time! And not all sweat sessions can do that. Even if you don’t have a whole hour to dedicate to it, a few minutes of yoga has health perks.
Dr. Sara Gottfried, author of “Younger,” starts each day with yoga and meditation for a half hour. At least a few minutes of yoga a day is good for mind and body and comes highly doctor recommended!
There are all kinds of yoga practices that you can add to your fitness routine. I personally LOVE the Hot Yoga classes at Studio at The Alaska Club! Their 1,600 square foot hot yoga studio is to die for.
