Yoga vs Gym

Today youth are moving toward gym to making his body fit. then what is the use of yoga.
Let’s discuss the topic.

Yoga is definitely better than gym.
It gives benefits in the long run as compared to gym.
It makes the body flexible which is actually cant pause in gym.
I personally feel that yoga is much better than gym.

All kinds of pain back problems can be cured with yoga  

Why YOGA:

because it gives mental and physical balance,today’s life is to make decisions and yoga helps mental strength to evaluate and take good decisions, it gives physical stamina too,performing different aasanas is quite helpful as working out in gym u get tired but on the other han yoga makes you energetic yoga also leads to self realization (kundalni jagriti) with help of meditation.

It is more historical and tested from a long period of time. At least it does not make your back ache(but that happens when u do weight training)

YOGA even give you eight packs better than 6packs.

While yoga enhances mental calmness, increases concentration, boosts immunity and provides flexibility and agility, Gymming helps burn calories, increases stamina and efficiency of heart and lungs, builds muscles and strength.

Many Gym trainers, use Yoga Asanas as warm-up exercises and also for stretching the body after work-outs. Regular doses of both are being recommended for best fitness. However, yoga is not a necessarily a “calorie-burning” regime, but it boosts the immune system in the body. Individuals who are best suited for yoga are those with health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. A Senior Cardiologist at Max Devki Hospital, Delhi has stated that “Yoga controls blood pressure and benefits diabetes patients as the two are often inter-related”. However, he emphasizes that yoga should only be considered as a preventive measure and not as a cure.

Another joint study conducted at AIIMS, Delhi and NIMHANS, Bangalore during the year 2004, revealed that Sudarshan kriya which is being taught by Art of Living Foundation, helps in controlling mental and physical stress. The study conducted on few groups of policemen showed amazing reductions in their stress levels. It was found that men who practiced Sudarshan Kriya had more “surveillance cells” in their immune system which helps in destroying tumor cells. It also lowered the cholesterol levels and decreased their need to turn to smoking.

Yoga can be opted if an individual is scared of a tough gym schedule or has problems related to stress like irritable bowel syndrome, insomnia, palpitations and hypertension. Such people can switch over to meditation or do both if they have the time. At the same time, yoga may not be suitable for individuals who are impatient, looking for quick results or are looking for an adrenaline surge, all of which is possible only in a gym. Also, the choice could be made based on fitness level and one’s lifestyle. For instance, individuals who are constantly traveling may not be regular at the gym and the equipments cannot be transported, but yoga can be done anywhere because all that is required is a mat (as long as there is no laziness to stop the practice).

Whatever be the choice, one must be persistent and consistent. That is the only way for a lasting fitness.
