Yoga, OR Body building??
I thought of considering doing either YOGA or Body building...
But, I needed to know the long term effects of the same. I've seen Arnold recently.. and I've seen few regular yoga practitioners at their old age.. ... Looks to be doing Yoga is a better option... Any suggestions??? LD http://forums.familylobby.com (Your True Family Discussions) |

LD http://forums.familylobby.com (Your True Family Discussions) Are you considering body building or weight training? There are many benefits from weight training and yoga. I wouldn't forgo weight training based on what Arnold looks like today.....I believe he was a body builder. |

Mary responds: These two choices are kinda at extreme ends of the scale, aren't they? I would say, try them both, and see which one "feels" right to you, and fits best with your lifestyle and physical goals. For most people, the yoga would be the most sustainable, since it doesn't require going to a gym or specialized equipment. You can almost always find yoga classes - never mind all you need is a carpeted floor at home. Yoga is also very different than body building in that it's not about "fitness" per say - its about the health of mind and body together - it has a big mental/emotional component. How about Pilates? From what I understand, it takes components of the mental processes of yoga and various martial arts, and combines that with more rigorous physical activity. M. |

What's wrong with the way Arnold looks at 60? In any case, a Mr. Olympia winner is not suggestive of a drug-free, genetically typical bodybuilding enthusiast. Here's a link to a more realistic example: http://tinyurl.com/2ksnt4 The man is 66 and in fine condition. I like the John Hansen quote: "Murrell Hall is what bodybuilding is all about." If you were 25% as serious about it you'd do just fine. Any suggestions??? Do both. Yoga covers the flexibility and spirituality components of a complete program that also includes resistance work, aerobic/cardiovascular work, and nutrition. LD Murrell Hall basically devotes his life to conditioning and bodybuilding. Even 25% of that would be difficult for many people to fit in their life. |

Which raises an interesting point, as I look at what I'm going through as a huge lifestyle change. Exercising every day is not such a difficult habit to build. The calorie counting, though, is becoming really tedious. I'm more of a muncher then a meal eater, and I have to hit my food logs about 12 to 15 times a day. I've got it down to a minimum number of keystrokes or whatever, but still, its getting a little old. |

No. I'm pretty sure at this point you are a troll. |

Yoga covers the flexibility and spirituality components of a complete program that also includes resistance work, aerobic/cardiovascular work, and nutrition. LD Murrell Hall basically devotes his life to conditioning and bodybuilding. Even 25% of that would be difficult for many people to fit in their life. He does a 4-day split resistance training routine where each bodypart is only hit once or twice a week, aerobics twice a week on off days, drinks enough water and eats right. That's a typical natural (drug-free) program. The 4-day split is a bit much for a beginner, but it's appropriate for an advanced trainee. I'm 43, resistance train twice a week (full body--means each bodypart is hit twice a week), do aerobic work at least twice a week, drink enough water and eat right. What I do isn't much different than what he does--and it's not excessive by any means. People eat, drink, sleep and exercise one way or another. Bodybuilding is just the most effective structuring of those activities. The hardest part is the initial application of said structure. It should be seen as an exchange of one set of habits for another rather than an additional burden. |
