Men's yoga and fitness are more beneficial

Yoga has attracted much attention as the most popular fitness program nowadays, but after visiting the yoga studio, people will find that it has almost become the domain of women. Misunderstandings about yoga have stopped many men, but in fact yoga is not a women's event, and men may have more benefits from practicing yoga.

Yoga is anyone's exercise

Yoga is the best exercise that unites the body and mind. 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 pace of life of modern people is getting faster and faster, and everyone's requirements for themselves are gradually increasing. The pressure will naturally gradually become overwhelming. If you can't relax at this time and let your mind return to a calm state, it will cause a series of psychological and physiological diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cervical spondylosis, bone spurs, etc. that people who often work at their desks are prone to. Problems are common and not just in women. In addition, many people, especially men, like to use violence to vent their emotions after a period of psychological depression. Although this is a temporary pleasure, in the end, it still cannot completely solve the problem.

The midbrain of the human body is one of the most important organs. When the brain is tired, many functions will be affected. The nerves that regulate a person's mental state mainly include the sympathetic nerve and the parasympathetic nerve. When working during the day, the sympathetic nerve mainly plays a role to cope with various situations; when sleeping at night, the parasympathetic nerve allows people to sleep peacefully. But if people are always in a state of inverted morning and dusk, and the rules of life are out of step with the normal ones, a vicious cycle will be formed. A big benefit of yoga is that it can help the brain waves return to a calm state, maximize the role of parasympathetic nerves, and restore them to a state of energy.

Men may benefit more from yoga

Men should first get rid of the erroneous view that this is a female sport. Yoga seems to be relatively slow, the rhythm is slow, and requires relatively high flexibility, but in fact yoga emphasizes more on breathing methods and letting the body enter a calm state. 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. Better, the mentality will be more peaceful.

Most women practice yoga to maintain or obtain a more perfect body. In addition, they care about whether they are beautiful when doing movements. Men do not pay great attention to the beauty of movements, but can better understand the true meaning of yoga.

Flexibility is important in the primary stage of yoga, but the more difficult the movements, the higher the demand for strength. Many movements are almost impossible tasks for women, so most of the international yoga masters are men.

There are no time or venue restrictions, making it more suitable for long-term practice of yoga

A big reason why many exercises are difficult to adhere to is that they cannot completely relax after strenuous exercise. The lactic acid generated in this way will stay in the body, and people will have backache for a few days after exercise, and even raise their arms. It's uncomfortable. Yoga attaches great importance to relaxation and the regulation of breathing. There will be corresponding relaxation after each action, so that the body will not be tired to the point where harmful substances produced by exercise cannot be discharged.

Yoga is also a sport that can be practiced throughout life, because it requires a small space, has no time or place restrictions, can be practiced even while sitting in a chair in the office, and can comprehensively exercise every part of the body. Sedentary people do not have smooth blood flow to nourish their legs for a long time, harmful substances cannot be discharged, and beneficial substances cannot flow into every part of the body, which will cause some lesions. Yoga cross-legged and many stretching and squeezing movements can promote blood circulation and relieve body tension, so it is more beneficial to people doing desk work. For example, cervical spine problems, gastrointestinal diseases, and even hair loss caused by poor blood flow can have corresponding conditioning effects. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
