Yoga In W/o Schedules

rks1969 · 04-22-2002, 09:00 PM

Does anyone include yoga in their workout schedule??
If so when?? Before , after training; on cardio days???
Opinions, anyone???

**Prince** · 04-22-2002, 10:17 PM

nope, never done it.

Robboe · 04-23-2002, 05:46 AM

I wouldn't do it before lifting.

I agree with TCD, dont do it before you work out. Probably best to do it a bit after working out or on a seperate day. Morning stretches and shaking out the 'ol muscles are still a good idea.

Sometimes I will alternate a power yoga with cardio first thing in the morning. Other times I will do a light strech yoga 1 hour before bed. It really promotes a restful sleep.

I do yoga every sunday for 45 minutes, and do a lot of yoga stretches before bed each night!!

Really...

I`m a little rusty...think you could give me some lessons

I eat yogart sometimes, does that count? But seriously, yoga is good for an adjunct to weight training when done on your days off. It really depends on your overall goal.

ponyboy · 04-26-2002, 06:55 AM

I agree with gopro...usually the focus of yoga is relaxation and to increase overall flexibility. In terms of bodybuilding training it usually isn't used. but it can be a nice switch from the everyday weights and cardio.

elvn · 04-26-2002, 09:47 PM

it absolutely depends on your goals.
in order to be fit overall, i've been trained to believe that all 3 facets of fitness need to be addressed: cardiovascular activity, muscle building and flexibilty. yoga is a great way to target flexibilty and if you have a good instructor, it can also be used to promote relaxation and spirituality. i've found some instructors to be lagging in the latter aspect

i think it's a great actiivty for an active rest day.
i would say do it seperately from training or cardio if doing it on the same day so you can offer a decent amount of energy to either activity instead of doing it back to back.

I have never tried the actual yoga. But after my workout I do some breathing exercises from 5-10 min surprisingly how good you feel after wards.

h_townraider · 04-28-2002, 10:58 PM

I do yoga, but I wouldnt recommend before workout. I usually do it when i get up

daisy · 04-29-2002, 11:46 AM

For those of you who are doing yoga, do you go to actual classes, follow a tape, or just do your own thing? I am really interested in trying it. Can anyone recommend any really good tapes/dvd's, or would you recommend that I sign up for a class?
Thanks for any info!
