Yoga

I thought the main to work out was doing something very physical strenuous, running, weights, constantly moving. But sometimes it can be fun but it can get boring if you fall into a pattern of doing the same thing. Or if you work out on your own and there are only so many things you know. Whichever you so choose, sometimes a work out is there to help you clear your head but instead we do these work out that tire us out even more, fill our head with loud heart bumping movement, and have to deal with the people working out around us.
To take a break from this routine, I know it is not for everyone, but try a yoga or something similar to a yoga work out such as pilates. When you enter the room, the people with their shoes off, laying on a mat and looking relaxed with through you off. Get over it. Put you mat down, pick a spot you feel comfortable in and lay down on your mat. Do not push the movements, and if you see an instructor go to correct you by touching you or pushing you more then you can handle, RUN or tell them, no thank you. Since about August I have started doing yoga, and most of my workouts have become yoga.
The week is so busy. I am running around and so much to think about. Being able to take and hour where you just go through the movement slowly and focus on your breathing. The day slips away. You get to actually relax. The crackberry, iphone, or driod, is hopefully in the car and you can let those worries wait. Relaxing is needed for your daily health. Being stressed lead to weight gain, loss of sleep, and break outs. No one wants that. Especially when you are no longer a teenager. I understand it is not for everyone, but just a change of pace, even if it was once a month.
Then you can go to running around like crazy, stressed, cell phone connected to you like its an organ rather than a device, and sleeping for five hours. But when then next week approaches you might find yourself wanting the deep feeling of relaxation again.
