Don’t fall into three major misunderstandings about yoga and fitness

　　Misunderstanding 1: Just sweat

　　After a yoga class, you should have a good feeling of unity between body and mind. If only a certain part of the body feels good, you are sweating profusely or you feel headache, soreness and over-excitement, it is a sign of physical injury. You should write a questionnaire for yourself after each class, ask yourself how your body feels, and see if it exceeds the limit, so as to formulate an exercise plan to achieve the best results.

　　Misunderstanding 2: Do your exercises at home

　　There are many yoga enthusiasts who like to practice their movements at home by following tutorials such as CDs or books because they do not have time to go to training grounds or for other reasons. In this regard, a coach from a bodybuilding club pointed out that this method is not advisable, especially for beginners. She said: “When I practice, I focus on pursuing the movement itself, pursuing the results and neglecting meditation and breathing. ”If yoga learners don’t understand their own bodies and their own limits, they will fall into blind practice and increase the chance of injury.

　　Misunderstanding 3: Doing aerobics as a warm-up

　　Some yoga instructors use aerobics as a warm-up exercise before doing yoga. This is not advisable because the body is in a state of excitement after aerobics and cannot enter the meditative state required by yoga. In addition, the excitement of the body after aerobics can easily lead to too rapid yoga movements, resulting in various strains. In formal yoga classes, "Sun Salutation" is usually used as a preparatory action to bring the joint muscles into a more relaxed and soft state.
