Baiju Abraham, -

DOI : 10.9780/22307850, By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Runners are often reluctant to try yoga; their most common fear is that they are not flexible enough. Yoga is suitable for every body type. It can be started at any age regardless of physical condition, and those who are the stiffest have the most to gain. Runners, specifically, have a tremendous amount to gain from adding yoga to their fitness regimens. Runners can benefit greatly from yoga's effects on strength, flexibility and balance. Many of the problems runners face, including sore knees, tight hamstrings and lower back pain, can be resolved by practicing yoga asanas. According to Yoga Journal, regular yoga practice improves flexibility, increases muscle strength, improves joint flexibility, Balance and encourages healthy blood flow.
