HEALTH TIPS - EXERCISE TO MUSIC

Sunday, October 25, 2009

Lie on your back and sit up, keeping your legs straight; as you get used to it you will not need your hands. This exercise is very good for the tummy. Running on the spot: lift your feet well up off the floor, knees forward. This is an excellent exercise: it takes very little time and can be done anywhere. It is not only very good for the whole cardiovascular system but it also exercises the legs and the stomach. Toe touching: stand with the feet a little apart, stretch up, then touch the floor between your feet, breathing rhythmically and deeply the whole time. There appears to be strong supporting evidence that the sarvangasana might well be one of the worlds best exercises in that it can avoid or postpone a host of illness that normally afflict human beings. The teeth, the gums, the nasal passages, the throat, the vocal cords, the spine, the whole nervous system and the abdominal organs are all greatly benefited by this wonderful exercise.

The sarvangasana must, however, be done properly under the supervision of a Yoga teacher. It is an easy exercise to learn and to do. Press-ups: Lay face down, legs straight. Push up with your hands and then come down. Twenty minutes of exercise scientifically done can do more for your health than two hours of strenuous baseball, tennis or football.
