Benefits of men practicing yoga

The reporter couldn't help but be surprised when he heard a male friend tell reporters that he not only practiced yoga, but also lost nearly 10 kilograms in two months.

Can men practice yoga? Professor Dou Wenhao from Beijing Physical Education University believes that yoga is a physical and mental exercise suitable for both men and women. Therefore, it is not exclusive to women. If you are confused by the surface flexibility of yoga movements, it is undoubtedly a loss for many men.

For modern people who are in a hurry, if they cannot learn to relax and vent, they will cause a series of psychological and physiological diseases. Diseases such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, cervical spondylosis, and bone spurs will also quietly come to us. Not only that, when the human body is tired, many functions will be affected, causing people to fall into a sub-health state of fatigue and listlessness. Yoga is a kind of training that consciously adjusts breathing, achieves body balance with body posture, and restores the body's ability to self-heal. The deep breathing of yoga helps concentrate attention, and complete and balanced contraction and extension 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 riding a bicycle.

Because the yoga movements are relatively soothing and slow, the requirements for flexibility are relatively high. At the same time, yoga emphasizes more on the method of breathing and allowing the body to enter a calm state. Generally speaking, men's flexibility is not as good as women, so they are not very quick at the beginning of the introduction. However, as the practice deepens, you will find that due to the increase in physical resilience, men may gain more benefits from yoga, and their physical strength will become better and their mentality will be more peaceful.

Secondly, yoga not only sculpts the external image, but also gives people a kind of inner strength. After a period of exercise from the inside out and from the outside in, people will be surprised to find that while losing a few kilograms of weight, their mentality is also completely different. Most women practice yoga to seek a more perfect body. When doing movements, they also care about the beauty of their posture. Men do not pay great attention to the beauty of movements, but can better understand the true meaning of yoga's self-cultivation. Although flexibility is important in the initial stage of yoga, the more difficult the movements you practice, the higher the requirement for strength. Many movements are almost impossible for women to complete, while men can easily complete them.

What is even more unexpected is that practicing yoga can also bring men another benefit of waking up laughing even when they sleep. According to data, some yoga postures are quite effective in improving sexual intercourse, such as bending forward, stretching backward, cobra posture, shoulder standing posture, etc., which can help stretch the muscles of the waist and abdomen, helping people to have sex more smoothly.

Reducing stress, losing weight, and adding a man's style have so many benefits that make men more interested. What reason do men have not come to yoga quickly?
