Combining Yoga And Weight Training

Combining yoga and weight training can have mental, emotional and physical benefits. If you've been thinking about taking a yoga class, go right ahead. You need to learn to do yoga correctly to get maximum benefits.

According to a study commissioned by the American College of Sports Medicine, combining yoga and weight training helps you with anxiety, tension, energy and fatigue. Weight training helped most with producing positive moods. Yoga provided the most benefits with anxiety reduction and calmness. Of course, weight training also provides other physical benefits such as improved strength, bone density and metabolic health.

Personally, I don't practice yoga. But, I am for any activity that promotes health and fitness. If you're looking for ways to enhance your fitness and well-being, disciplines such as yoga and pilates are great alternatives. Its important to learn these disciplines (both mental and physical) to reap the benefits.

Yoga and pilates also have strength benefits, especially in how they improve core strength and flexibility. There are many different disciplines of both yoga and pilates so it is important to find the particular one that best suits you.
