What is your favorite form of physical exercise?
Ok, the title has little to nothing to do with this question….LOL.
If you follow my blog “Talking with Donna”, you will see I talk about mental health. In my blog I include information on yoga poses that could be beneficial to that specific mental health challenge I am discussing at that time. If you don’t follow me, please feel free to…. what does this have to do with my favorite exercise…well, did I mention I am also a certified yoga teacher…mmmm…that’s one of the hats I wear.
So, the question at hand is “what is my favorite form of exercise”? Surprise, yoga is my favorite form the practice encompasses all body parts including the brain. The funny thing is I didn’t start it in my early years, I began that journey in what some might consider my “twilight years”, this I consider a plus.
Let’s look at some of the known benefits, I will not go into a whole book the benefits are numerous. As a woman of a certain age maintaining flexibility and balance is important to me yoga enhances both. It can be adapted to all ages, and to accommodate various levels of physical abilities. Yoga promotes relaxation, reduces stress, improves mental clarity all of this is beneficial at any age, it also promotes community and social interaction.
If you get a chance, try it they have all types of practices. If you have known health challenges, be sure to check with your physician before trying any type of exercise.
Have a wonderful weekend, do something to amaze yourself….
