Yoga & Pilates vs. Weight-training

[JohanCruz2013]

There are no other effective remedies from joint problems and arthritis except Yoga and Pilates. Each of these is followed by another. Especially Yoga will help to concentrate more and holding your spirits while Pilates training. The very next the weight training will be spirited by Pilates. Mostly these practices will be made according to the wisdom of your body. In this concern I am suggesting you the assistance from Pilates Room with Kimberley Garlick as I am already benefited with the training.

I find yoga to be an absolute necessity... as someone who is stiff and always had body/muscle/joint pain it balances out other activities that can tighten me up even more. Cycling tightens my hip flexors and chest and yoga helps open it up so I slouch less and move easier If I were to weight train (I used to be an avid lifter) it would tighten me up too much, need the balance!

This! Without yoga, my osteoarthritis would dictate my life.

Judging from the physiques my yoga instructors (a M-F couple) had in Mexico, you don't need to weight-train to build strong and glorious muscles. Yoga, done right, does indeed involve weight-bearing, and that's what it's all about. Don't need no steenkin' weights (unless you want to)!
