Default 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???

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.

I see the bodybuilding lifestyle as more complete
compared to yoga. Nothing is more effective at
producing positive physical change. True bodybuilding
is a system of four parts: resistance work, aerobic
work, flexibility work, and specialized nutrition.
Practical visualization and spiritual components are
often part of it as well. Anything that will help,
within the boundaries of ones morality, can be included.

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.

That's a really good question. Why not take a nice long walk and think about
it?

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.

Besides killfiling you? No. I'm pretty sure at this point you are a troll.

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.
