Yoga - the gently yet powerful workout
One of my favorite workouts to do at home is any type of yoga exercise. Yoga is a gentle yet incredibly powerful workout that can go from gentle stretchcing to a cardio workout that will get your heart pumping and your muscles aching.
The reason you can do yoga at home is that it doesn’t require much (or really any) special equipment. All you need is some loose fitting clothing and a soft surface like your living room carpet and you’re good to go. You can find instructional yoga programs on TV (check your local channels), on DVD or VHS or even as books or video podcasts.
Yoga has become popular again in recent years and for good reasons. It has quite a few health benefits, is a great stress reducer and goes from beginners to expert workout seamlessly. If you are new to yoga, you may also want to consider taking a few lessons at your local gym or yoga center to get started.
