Yoga is more than five simple exercises. It is a complete exercise program that consists of a lot more than five simple exercises. It includes breathing exercises, stretching exercises and can even include strengthening exercises. Yoga exercises are included as a part of physical therapy treatment. Right now I am doing physical therapy for my knees. These are the simple yoga exercises that I practice at home.
I first started with yoga years ago when I was having muscle problems. It was simple yoga exercises that I do at home which has helped me to stay fit and healthy for years. Yoga is for any age and does not have to include complicated positions. I am not able to do standing on my head or twisting my body into some form of a pretzel. What level you wish to take your yoga practice to is decided by each individual person.
My simple yoga exercises consist of leg raising and bending stretches, arm raises and using an exercise ball. I try to spend about twenty minutes a day doing my yoga exercise.
Another great form of simple exercise that I do occasionally is dancing. Turn on the music you love and dance. It’s fun and you can choose whatever level of physical exercise your body is capable of. Older people like me will not be physically able to dance as strenuously as a younger physically fit person. But as long as you can move, you can dance.
Exercise is important for all of us. It should be a part of everyone’s health plan. So choose what you enjoy whether it’s bike riding, walking, swimming or any other form of exercise. Simple yoga exercise and dancing are two great choices for your health and body.
