Differences between yoga and weight lifting

-

 In my previous post I have said that a person has asked me the difference between yoga and weight lifting I have come up with an awesome post about yoga and weight lifting. Yoga and weight lifting are two different branches of a same tree.

Yoga: Yoga is a mind and body practice with a 5,000 –year history in ancient Indian philosophy. Various styles of yoga combine physical postures, breathing techniques and meditation or  relaxation.

Yoga is not only a physical workout it is also called as a lifestyle because by practicing yoga you will acquire some skills like Yama,Niyama,Asana,Pranayma,Pratyahara,Dhyana,Dharana,Samadhi.These 8 Sanskrit words describe about yoga. By doing yoga you may gain not only physical health but also mental health.

Weight lifting: It refers to lifting of weight which also improves your mind and body connection. This helps in building muscle, strength, endurance. You look attractive and stronger.

Which to choose:

You should choose based on your fitness goal. If your goal is strength, muscle and endurance you may choose weight lifting. If your fitness goal is endurance, flexibility and mobility then yoga is the best option for you.

Yoga: This will give you flexibility and mobility. Yoga has various forms of cardio and can be done anywhere. It doesn’t require more money for investing because so many people are teaching it for free and no equipment except yoga mat. You will feel healthy and happy after doing yoga.



Weight lifting: this provides you strength, muscle and endurance. Weight lifting is very expensive because you should buy equipment or join gym and you should maintain a lifting belt, shoes. This can’t be done anywhere. This will also make you feel healthy and happy. 





What If a person do both:  there is no problem in doing both but do them on different days. Doing both yoga and weight lifting make you more athletic, flexible and gives you cardio vascular endurance.

Disadvantages of doing yoga or weight lifting:  there are no such things except injuries. If you do them correctly you get only benefits. Don’t overdo both because anything which is taken as overdose gives bad results.

Note: In next post I will end the hypertrophy (muscle) building section with some tips and tricks. Stay tuned.

Wake up,

  Every person who will do workout will have a dream to get a six pack. Getting a six will be based on both exercise and dieting. Only dieting will take more time to show your abs .Only exercising won’t work if you don’t have a perfect diet plan. So, you should do dieting and strength training for getting abs. Exercises which concentrate only on abs won’t give six packs:   Six packs are a group of muscles called abdominals. They are hidden behind the fat under the skin. So, you should the fat behind the skin. Spot reduction (reduction of fat in one place) is not possible at the stomach. Doing abs exercises like crunches, sit ups will only make the six packs under the fat bigger but they won’t reduce fat. So, you should reduce fat behind the skin in order to make your abs visible. As I mentioned in the previous posts I have uploaded in my blog https://beastfitnessgains.blogspot.com . You should follow the same procedure for fat loss and get a flattened tummy. After getti...

 You need strong arms because strong arms help you to lift heavily and help you to build muscle. You should train arms using two different types of movements namely push and pull. push movement is for the triceps and pulling movement is for the biceps. So you may divide them and add push movement i.e. triceps workout to push day workout and pull movement i.e. biceps to pull day workout. Biceps(strength): As I said before in the post:- back_strength  that training for strength can be done by using compound workouts. compound workouts for biceps are chin up and pull up. And also you can isolate your biceps to make them stronger. So you can use some bicep workouts like e-z bar curl, preacher curl, concentration curl, barbell curl, etc. Triceps(strength): As I said before in the post:- chest_strength  that strength training for the chest can be done by using push movements. Triceps are also can be trained by push movements. You can also isolate the triceps by using tricep iso...

Diet for fat loss

 Gaining Fat is a major problem these days. People are getting confused due to so many controversial sites providing fake information on fat loss. I don't want to mention them. In this post, I will clear all doubts regarding fat loss and differentiate between fat loss and cutting.  First of all, what is fat loss? Fat loss is a process in which we reduce our body fat percentage and get toned. We need to maintain a calorie deficit and do strength training for that. I am going to explain what type of diet to follow for fat loss. By seeing the phrase 'reducing body fat' You can get an idea about it. It's just reducing the fat intake and burning fat in the body. I will now say how to do that. You don't need to drink detox teas, fat burners or you don't need to put on a so-called sweat slim belt.  you just need to multiply your body weight(kgs) by 11 or 12 and the product is your daily calorie intake or I am attaching a photo below. Refer to that to know your calories...
