Exercising Your Body AND Your Mind
Losing weight isn't just about exercising your body, it is also about exercising your mind. If you are in the right mind-set when you are going through your weight loss journey then you have a better chance of not only getting the weight off, but keeping it off. Here are three activities that combine more than one type of exercise to strengthen your body and muscles, and they are relaxing and refreshing. They have very different techniques but they all emphasize the body and mind connection towards losing weight and improving your health, flexibility, strength, and balance.
Yoga - Yoga uses a system of breathing and postures (poses) that can be as gentle or as vigorous as you choose. People of all ages and weights can use Yoga as a way to build muscle that will eventually help to burn calories. The gentle breathing exercises combined with slow movements really help you to relax and become one with your body.
Pilates - This is a low-impact exercise that is designed to build your core muscles which are your lower back, hips, abdomen, and buttocks. It also improves flexibility and posture. They are controlled stretches focusing on each muscle group in a way that uses both your mind and the muscles.
Tai Chi - An ancient form of martial arts, it involves gentle, circular movements that is combined with deep breathing to put you in a meditative state while working all your muscles. The poses are performed gracefully and slowly so that you aren't forcing the workout, it just starts to come naturally. It builds your muscles as well as reduces the stresses that can stop you from losing weight.
