WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GYM AND YOGA?

 

                                         GYM VS YOGA

                            PHYSICAL EXERCISES ARE DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT ALL PARTS OF BODY GET SOME MOVEMENTS (STRETCH AND SUBSEQUENT RELAX) TO PREVENT IDLENESS. THE PERSPIRATION SO GENERATED DURING OR AFTER BODY MOVEMENTS, HELPS BURNING EXCESS FATS AND CALORIES. DEEP BREATH INCREASES OXYGEN INTAKE, IMPROVES LUNGS' CAPACITY TO EXPAND AND CONTRACT. AIR IS ALSO A GOOD PURIFIER FOR INTERNAL ORGANS, WHICH ARE OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO CLEAN. WHEN WE RUN OR JOG, WE ARE FORCED TO TAKE LONG AND DEEP BREATH AND THIS TYPE OF BREATHING HELPS OXIDIZING EACH AND EVERY CELL, HENCE YOU FEEL REFRESH. YOGA IS A BODY OF KNOWLEDGE COLLECTED THROUGH THOUGHT PROCESSING AND MEDITATION FOR MANY YEARS BY OUR COUNTLESS SAINTS AND HOLY PERSONS. THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE BENEFITS OF DIFFERENT POSTURES, MEDITATION ETC. AND PENNED DOWN ITS DO'S AND DON'TS. THESE SCRIPTURES AND BOOKS NEED TO STUDY IN DEPTH. FOR EXAMPLES, SHRI MADBHAGAD GITA, EXPLICITLY EXPLAINS AS TO WHAT IS YOGA, HOW IT IS TO BE PERFORMED AND PRACTISED FOR LONG TERM. IT IS MENTIONED THAT YOGA SUCCEEDS FOR THOSE PERSONS WHO TAKE MEDIUM QUANTITY OF FOOD (NO OVEREATING OR NO STARVING), REQUISITE SLEEP (NO SO LESS THAT IT AFFECTS BODY NOR EXCESS TO FEEL LAZY) AND EXERCISES CONTROL ON DESIRES. BEFORE STARTING YOGA, YOU MUST FEEL OR CHANT THREE BASICS.

1.                                        I HAVE NOTHING TO DO
2.                     I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING
3.                          I AM NOTHING

                     THIS WAY YOU FEEL CONTENTMENT AND GRADUALLY CONTROL ON BODY AND MINDS GOES ON INCREASING.

IT IS WORTHWHILE TO DISCUSS THE COMPARISON OF YOGA AND GYM. GYM HAS BEEN MORE OF FASHIONABLE FOR LONG, PEOPLE FEEL PROUND OR STATUS SYMBOL TO MIDDLE AGED PEOPLE AND ATTRACTS YOUNGSTERS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE DESIROUS TO DEVELOP FIVE PACKS OR SEVEN PACKS BODY BUILD UP WHEREAS YOGA IS SLOWLY GAINING ATTENTION WORLDWIDE, CUTTING ACROSS AGE GROUPS, CASTE AND RELIGIONS. BOTH BODY BUILDING AND YOGA ATTRACTS EQUALLY TO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. BALANCED DIET IS IMPORTANT FOR BOTH BODY AND SAME WAY BODY BUILDING ALSO EMPHASIZES ON NUTRITION, NOT QUANTITY. CONCEPTUALLY NON VEGETARIAN FOOD IS NOT SUITABLE IF YOU WANT TO PRACTICE YOGA, WHEREAS BODY BUILDING MAY RECOMMEND EGGS, MEAT, FISH  OR PORK. YOGA IS QUITE CHEAP, RATHER NO INVESTMENT AND DOES NOT REQUIRE COSTLY MACHINES. GYM CAN HARM YOUR BODY IF IT IS PRACTICED WRONGLY WHEREAS YOGA IS NOT HAVING ANY HARM, YOU MAY NOT GET FULL ADVANTAGE IF PRACTICED WITHOUT CORRECT PROCEDURE OR SEQUENCE.

GYM OR YOGA

 

 

YOGA IS NOT WESTERN CONCEPT, IT ORGINATED IN ANCIENT INDIA. BUT DUE TO TENDENCY OF FEW PEOPLE TO KEEP IT SECRET, IT VANISED FROM COMMON KNOWLEDGE. IT HAS REGAINED ITS IMPORTANCE ONCE ITS ADVANTAGES ARE KNOWN TO MOST OF THE PEOPLE. YOGA MAKES BODY FLEXIBLE, SOFT AND EAST TO FOLD OR MOVE WHEREAS TYM MAKES BODY STIFF, HARD AND DIFFICULT TO TWIST. SOFTER BODY (JUST LIKE THAT OF CHILDREN) HELPS YOU LIVE LONGER WHEREAS HARD BODY IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN IN OLD AGE. YOGA ACTS AS GUARANTEE OR RESIST DISEASE WHEREAS GYM HAS NO SUCH QUALITY. YOGA ACTS ON BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT WHEREAS GYM WORKOUTS FOCUS AT IMPROVING BODY'S PHYSICAL CONDITIONS. CHANGES ARE SLOW IN CASE OF YOGA, WE CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT HURRY UP, WHEREAS IN CASE OF GYM WORKOUT, IT IS NORMALLY TIME BOUND. IT MAY CAUSE INJURY ALSO. YOGA DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR HUNGER, BUT ENSURES THAT WHATEVER YOU INTAKE, IT PROPERLY UTILIZED FOR YOUR BODY. YOGA INSTITUTES HAVE NO MIRRORS WHEREAS IN GYMS YOU MAY SEE MANY MIRRORS TO SEE AS TO HOW IT IS IMPROVING. YOGA TEACHES AND YOU HAVE IMPROVED ON YOURSELF AND NO COMPARISON WITH OTHERS. YOGA  ACCEPTS AS YOU ARE. IN SPITE OF BEING VERY CHEAP. IT HAS GOT MANY ADVANTAGES INCLUDING REACHING THE HEIGHT OF SPIRITUAL FEELINGS AND ACTUALIZING YOUR ESTEEM NEEDS. IT SHOULD NOT BE COMMUNICATED AS SECULAR OR FANATIC. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ATTEMPTS TO POLITICIZE YOGA AS COMMUNAL FLAVOR. IN FACT, YOGA HELPS TO ACT AS BRIDGE BETWEEN OUR INDIVIDUAL POWERS TO SUPERNATURAL POWER, WHICH IS CONCEPTUALLY SHAPELESS.

 

                              ❤ THE JOINTS IN YOUR BODY

 

 

                                FIRST WE DISCUSS ABOUT JOINT ROTATION. JOINT ROTATION IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH, ALL JOINTS OF BODY ARE ROTATED, THIS WAY NATURAL LUBRICANT AT THE JOINTS IS RETAINED. ONCE THIS LIBRICATION DRIES UP, PROBLEM OF ARTHRITIS CAN START. YOU NEED TO START FROM UPPER PORTION OF SKULL. PLACE PALM ON IT AND TRY TO RUB IT TOWARDS ALL DIRECTIONS. THEN YOU CAN START NECK ROTATION. NECK SHOULD NE MOVED BACKWARD AND FORWARD AND THEN ROTATE SLOWLY FIRE TO SEVEN TIMES CLOCK WISE AND ANTI CLOCK WISE. ROTATING BOTH SIDES IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE OUR BODY IS SYMMETRY IN BOTH THE PORTION RIGHT AND LEFT. WE NEED TO MAINTAIN THIS SYMMETRY AS LAW OF NATURE. WHENEVER YOUR HEAD BOWS TOWARDS CHEST, YOU NEED TO EXHALE AND WHEN IT IS STRETCHED TO SHOULDERS, YOU SHOULD INHALE. AFTER NECK ROTATION, SHOULDER ROTATION SHOULD BE PERFORMED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.

                              JOGGING

 

 

                  JOGGING IS REALLY GOOD TO REFRESH EACH AND EVERY PART OF OUR BODY. WE AUTOMATICALLY TAKE DEEP BREATH AND PERSPIRATION TO BURN EXTRA AND CALORIES. MOST OF THE ORGANS GET REACHARGED DUING JOGGING AND EACH AND EVERY CELL GETS OXIDIZED. JOGGING MAY BE USED TO WARM UP BODY AND SUBSEQUENT RELAX MAY HELP COOLING. SOME RESEARCHES FEEL THAT JOGGING IS SO POWERFUL THAT IT MAY PREVENT CANCER BECAUSE IT WORKS AT CELL LEVEL. OTHER BEFITS MAY BE REDUCING BELLY, MORE FITNESS AND TONING THE SKIN. IT IS BETTER TO WEAR SPORTS SHOES WHILE JOGGING , SO THAT YOUR LEGS MOVE FREELY AND THERE IS NO HINDRANCE IN SMOOTH MOVEMENT OF LEGS. EXCESS JOGGING IS NOT GOOD FOR HEALTH AND HENCE IT SHOULD BE LIMITED TO TEN TO FIFTEE MINUTES A DAY. LIGHT JOGGING IS HEALTHIER AND SAFER.

BRISK WALK

 

 

 

BRISK WALK (AROUND FIVE KILOMETERS PER HOUR SPEED) WHICH IT NOT LIKE RUNNING AND NOT WALKING) IS REALLY MUCH BENEFICIAL THAN CASUAL LEISURE WALK OR JOGGING, ACTUAL SPEED DEPENDS UPON YOUR AGE, WEIGHT AND THE CAPACITY OF YOUR BODY. STRETCHING LITTLE MORE THAN WHAT YOU CAN. THE IDEA IS THAT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE BRISK WALK TILL YOU GET PERSPIRATION AND DEEP BREATHE. WALK A LITTLE INITIALLY AND GRADUALLY INCREASE THE TIME. WARM UP AND COOL DOWN WITH A SLOW WALK TO EASE UP. WALKING ON GRASS BARE FOOT IS MORE BENEFICIAL AND INJECTS A SENSE OF ENERGY FLOWING IN. IT IS BECAUSE OUR FEET HAVE MANY REFLEXOLOGY ZONES CORRESPONDING TO VARIOUS ORGANS OF BODY. WHEN WE PUT PRESSURE ON TOES AND THESE ZONES. IT IMPROVES YOUR EYE SIGHT AS WELL.

ROPE SKIPPING

 

 

ACCORDING TO BRITISH ROPE SKIPPING ASSOCIATION, TEN MINUTES TO SKIPPING CAN HAVE HEALTH AS FORTY FIVE MINUTES RUN. IT IS FULL BODY WORKOUT WHICH USES ABDOMINALS TO STABILIZE THE BODIES LEGS JUMPING SHOULDERS AND ARMS FOR TURNING THE ROPE.

IT IS NOT JUST FOR GIRLS, SKIPPING ROPE IS ALSO VERY GOOD EXERCISE FOR ALL TO BURN EXTRA FATS AND CALORIES THROUGH SWEAT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE LESS TIME INTHE MORNING. HERE ALL LIMBS GET ACTIVATED INCLUDING YOUR BRAIN.

DANCING

 

 

DANCING AGAIN IS VERY  GOOD FOR HEALTH. WHILE DACING, WE HAVE CERTAIN RHTHM, WE TAKE MANY TWISTS IN OUR BODY PLEASANTLY, AND THUS IT HAS IMPACT ON BODY AND MINDS BOTH. DANCING IS ALSO  TERMED AS SORT OF YOGA, CALLED NATYA YOGA. WE KNOW THAT FOLK DANCES ALSO HAVE SENSE OF HAPPINESS AND ALL TYPE OF DANCES HAVE MANY MUDRAS AND ASANAS THAT IS THE REASON THAT DANCE IS REFINED FORM OF YOGA

LAUGHTER

 

 

LAUGHING ALSO IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST EXERCISES AS IT RELAXES WHOLE BODY INCLUDING ABDOMEN, BACK AND SHOULDERS AND STEPS DISTRESSING EMOTIONS. IT REDUCES PAIN AND LOWERS STRESS. THERE ARE MANY LAUGHTER CLUBS FORMED BY ENTHUSIASTIC PERSONS. WE SHOULD NOT IGNORE THE IMPORTANCE OF SUCH EFFORTS, BECAUSE ULTIMATE AIM OFLIFE IS TO REMAIN HAPPY AND HENCE SMILE MAY BE ARTIFICIAL BUT STILL WORKS POSITIVELY FOR OUR HEALTH SYSTEM BY IMPROVING OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AS WELL. LAUGHTER BRINGS US TOGETHER AND IMPROVES OUR RELATIONSHIP, ANOTHER SOOTHING FACTOR. LAUGHING BUDDHA IS GOOD TO SEE IN THEMORNING AS PER BELIEF AND THEREFORE MANY OF US KEEP THEM N OUR HOUSE AS DECORATIVE PIECE ALSO. PEOPLE HAVE BELIEF THAT LAUGHING BUDDHA BRINGS HEALTH, WEALTH AND SUCCESS KEEPING MORALE HIGH. WIGH  LAUGHING THERAPY OUR HEART BECOMES MORE LIGHTENED AND OURMIND GRASPS BETTER SOLUTIONS FOR THE PROBLEMS ON HAND.

SWIMMING

 

 

SWIMMING IS A PERFECT EXERCISE INVOLVING ALL PARTS OF BODY AS IT IS THE PROCESS OF SELF PROPULSION THROUGHWATER. IT IS NOT VERY EASY, BUT YOU CAN LEARN THROUGH GOOD TRAINER. THERE ARE SOME RISKS ALSO, BUT WE CAN SAFELY SWIM IN SWIMMING POOLS, WHILE IN RIVER OF POOLS, IT MAY BE QUITE RISKY. ALL DEPENDS ON AS TO HOW MUCH CONSCIOUS YOU REMAIN TAKING CALCULATED RISKS ONLY.
