Dahn Yoga

Yoga used to be known as a form of meditation but nowadays, a lot of people also use it for physical fitness. Because keeping fit has been popular around the world, the styles and techniques of Yoga have also evolved.

Dahn Yoga is a Korean Yoga system. Its teachings are said to put emphasis on not just the physical, but also the emotional and spiritual well-being of a person. Its exercises incorporate a blend of yoga, tai chi and martial arts.

Physical benefits include increase in flexibility and balance, and pain management among others. Some of its emotional benefits are to help relax and handle stressful situations, as well as encourage positive thoughts and self-acceptance. Helping you to feel whole and connected with humanity and nature, as well as help you find your life purpose and rekindle your passion for life are some of its spiritual benefits.

Reading through their literature, and other information on the web, I’m actually getting curious to learn about the Basics of Dahn Yoga. If a simple mom like me can learn to adapt it to my way of living, so can you.

Cycling and Pilates

I have always been intrigued at people who go to the gym religiously to keep fit. I’m not a health buff by all means but sometimes I think of wanting to wear a 2-piece swimsuit. Like next year, we’re vacationing in my home town in the Philippines, in Bohol, and there are lots of beaches to enjoy.

For now, I enjoy watching health-related reality shows. It’s amazing how some of the contestants can just lose weight in a short span of time. But I also wonder if the trainers are trained for specific situations. I mean, there are those with knee problems, and the contestants do a lot of cycling. I’m pretty sure though that the popular shows have had their trainers attend a series of cycle trainer courses. I know it’s a great cardio workout, but maybe for starters, I can consult with a Pilates Instructor on low impact exercises. Maybe I can enjoy simple moves first then slowly work up to the more extensive ones.

Have you tried Pilates? Or do you prefer hard core exercise moves?

A Quest for Losing Weight

I was watching a TV show where they feature people who are struggling to keep their weight. They were all obese and their quest to losing weight is their daily struggle. I am not obese, but I sure do wish to lose some weight. Losing weight is a journey with full of temptations so along the way most people stumble.

I keep on saying that I need to lose some weight, yet I haven't done a thing to attain my goal. There is this Power 90 In Home Boot Camp that my friend is telling me about. She said that this type of exercise will guarantee total body transformation in 90 days. I am really curious about this thing. I need to check some more of this.

Sometimes, we tend to forget our goals when it comes losing weight. Perhaps because we never find time to do so. I think for busy individuals a 10 minute workout like Tony Horton's 10 Minute Traineris perfect. The 10 Minute Trainer includes an easy to follow eating plan to shed some pounds.

For individuals who is willing to take the challenge of an Insanity Workout, this workout is the toughest. It is a 60 day full body conditioning workout. It is really beyond your imagination. The toughness of this workout will surely pay off as you will definitely get the leanest body ever.

The journey to losing weight is really hard and its success will depend on your determination.
