Is fitness or yoga better for women?

Almost all women are particularly concerned about their figure, because a good figure can also add points to their image and temperament. In order to maintain a good figure, women should not only pay attention to their diet in daily life, but also pay attention to appropriate exercise. For example, fitness and yoga are two better ways to shape the body. So, for women, is fitness or yoga better?

1. Should women choose fitness or yoga?

First of all, you should make a detailed plan before making a choice. Whether it is fitness or yoga, it is an exercise and health-preserving method that will only be effective if you persist. Don't give up after three days of fishing. Otherwise all your efforts will be wasted, so fitness or yoga is a very difficult process.

Secondly, fitness is actually similar to yoga, but it can be said that fitness has more equipment and more ways to choose from. For example, reducing fat, reducing belly fat, losing weight, fat on the back of the hands, excess fat, thigh fat, calf fat, vest line, mermaid line, muscles, arm fat, etc., all of which have corresponding professional fitness equipment. Different fitness equipment can be selected according to different needs.

But because of this, women who want to exercise have higher requirements for the venue and equipment, and must go to professional fitness venues that can provide professional equipment. This is somewhat difficult for women. Not only that, fitness venues are not accessible to ordinary women. They require paying a certain annual fee or applying for a membership card. For white-collar workers, this may not have much impact, but it is quite troublesome for ordinary housewives to exercise.

2. What are the advantages of yoga compared to fitness?

Although fitness can better target exercise, there is corresponding equipment for each link. However, yoga is more of a comprehensive exercise, which can shape the whole body and focuses more on overall relaxation of the person. Rather than just a certain place or a certain part, because yoga is a comprehensive and integrated health-preserving exercise.

Not only that, yoga does not require high equipment and venue. No matter when or where, you can do it as long as you have a yoga mat.

Whether you are a white-collar woman or a housewife, you can do yoga at home.

Moreover, fitness may require professional coaching and instruction. If fitness equipment is used improperly, it may cause physical strain. Of course, yoga also requires professional coaching. You can try watching teaching videos online, or go to a regular yoga academy for classes, I believe it will have better results.

In this way, yoga and fitness each have their own benefits and advantages. It is impossible to tell which one is better. Different women need to exercise according to their actual situation and suit their own body.

3. Benefits of Fitness

Fitness can improve the function of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Scientific practice has confirmed that long, rhythmic, deep breathing can enable the human body to breathe a large amount of oxygen. If the amount of oxygen absorbed is 7-8 times more than usual, it can inhibit the growth and reproduction of cancer cells in the human body. Secondly, long-distance running exercises also improve myocardial oxygen supply, accelerate myocardial metabolism, and at the same time make myocardial muscle fibers thicker and increase cardiac contractility, thereby improving the heart's working capacity.

Fitness is beneficial to disease prevention and treatment. Long-distance running speeds up blood circulation and cleanses harmful substances from the excretion system, making it difficult for them to stay and spread in the body. According to measurements, running 3,000 meters in 16 minutes or 5,000 meters in 25 minutes can lower blood cholesterol. This has a good preventive effect on the elderly who are prone to varying degrees of hyperlipidemia, which in turn causes vascular sclerosis, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, etc.

Fitness is conducive to a good mood and a happy spirit. This type of long-distance running does not emphasize winning or losing the competition, but only seeks to keep fit in a relaxed and happy manner. Therefore, it is very helpful in relieving the mental and psychological stress caused by the high pace and intense exercise in modern society. According to medical experts, this kind of relaxing and enjoyable exercise can best promote the release of a polypeptide substance in the body - endorphins, which can make people feel a lasting euphoria and sedation. In addition, because long-distance running makes people feel energetic and optimistic, it helps increase appetite, strengthen digestive function, and promote nutrient absorption.
