Shape Shifter Yoga
It’s incredibly frustrating to be so close to the top of your game — or almost at your hard won physique goal — and then to get injured.
The weight bearing poses of yoga are the perfect way to work on those key body parts. Studies show yoga can even help you stay SLIM But beyond simply sculpting your muscles and giving you a nicer shape, there’s solid evidence that regular yoga practice can even help you lose weight or avoid weight gain.
One of the ways yoga may affect weight loss is through something called “insulin sensitivity.” Insulin is your body’s “storage” hormone — shuttling energy and nutrients from your blood into your cells.
In 2005, researchers from Seattle found that overweight people who practice yoga tend to lose weight. "Those practicing yoga who were overweight to start with lost about 5 pounds during the same time period those not practicing yoga gained 14 pounds," says Kristal the head researcher.
Kris made “yoga class” inviting, fun, and enjoyable and I would strongly recommend her class for the competitive athlete or the exercise enthusiast.” Keep running for LIFE — and how Kris improved HER running Although she no longer runs competitively, Kris still enjoys a good jog.
Whether they’re at a desk or traveling on commute, they spend most of their time training their bodies to be “chair shaped.” Sloping shoulders, tight hips and dormant butt muscles are all symptoms of “Desk Jockey Syndrome” (DJS).
And a typical player makes something like 120 swings during the average round of golf. That’s a lot of wear and tear! If your body isn’t in balance, every one of those swings takes you one step closer to injury.
By carefully reshaping these areas, you’ll get closer to the “golden ratio” that gives you a universal visual appeal that’s hardwired into our human psyche.
But — knock on wood — my body seems no worse for wear. And that’s surprising, because most of the “desk jockey” clients I work with are plagued by the typical aches and pains associated with sitting all day long.
Not only did I lose weight during the time of your study, but I became more flexible, felt energized, and felt good about my body and self inside and out.
I train hard, so I get the odd tweak. But nothing like back in the day when I was convinced I was “injury prone.” The simple practice of keeping my muscles in balance has allowed me to work out harder and play harder without constantly looking over my shoulder, waiting for an injury to happen.
The only reason I don’t suffer from DJS myself is because of yoga. That’s why it’s the exact same cure I use for clients who come to me with these problems. And the results are VISIBLE in just 3-4 weeks! Anyone who sits at a desk needs to be doing this stuff! But they aren’t the only ones.
Is it really possible to run without all those overuse injuries and long term pain? If you run, you’ll be interested in this… On a 1 mile run, your feet hit the ground a thousand times.
And that’s what YOU can enjoy if you follow her advice. Turn your golf swing into a high-precision rifle Golf is a gentle sport, right? Think again! A golf swing travels at 100 mph and involves potentially dangerous twisting of the spine.
If your insulin sensitivity goes down, you store more energy as fat instead of storing it in muscles and other lean tissue.
All your progress comes to a grinding halt. And you feel like you have to start the whole journey over again once you heal. Not only that, but once you do feel better you’re constantly worried it’s going to happen again. And it usually does. Because the ROOT of the problem is still there… Muscle imbalance. Yep, it call comes back to keeping your body in balance. Nowadays, I rarely get the kind of injuries that used to completely derail my training and other activities.
