Yoga and training. Improve your performance while exercising!

Yoga - basic information

Yoga is a very original training system from India. Exercises are firmly rooted in the local philosophy and culture and their main purpose is to provide the body with an optimal balance between body and spirit. Yoga practitioners often emphasize its dualistic effect and complex influence on the body. Its presence in regular workouts may prove to be extremely beneficial for improving their effectiveness.

• strengthening natural immunity and better protection against pathogenic microorganisms
• getting rid of excessive nervous system strain, improving the mood and reducing excessive stress

Yoga and training. How should you combine this?

Many people wonder about the effective combination of the calm character of yoga with the dynamics and intensity of other exercises. In practice, it turns out to be extremely simple, because universal positions and yoga exercises can be used in practically any sport! In turn, the holistic influence of this training system will translate into higher efficiency of the body and better results.

Yoga before training

Using elements of yoga before the planned workout is a great way to prepare the body for further physical activity. Yoga can serve as a form of complementing the dynamic warm-up, which will increase the flexibility of the structures of the locomotive organs and achieve an optimal range of joint connections. Moreover, it is worth adding that thanks to this, there is a good chance to minimize the risk of injury.

Yoga after training

Nothing stands in the way of the yoga positions being used to enrich post-workout stretching and relaxation. The slow pace of exercise, full range of motion and deep breathing will calm down the body. What's more, it's also a valuable way to minimize the risk of post-workout DOMS (commonly known as muscle soreness)

Yoga and training. Diet and supplementation

A high level of physical activity requires appropriate support in the context of a healthy and varied diet. Increased demand is inextricably linked to providing the body with an optimal dose of essential vitamins and minerals. This is best complemented by the Vita-Min Multiple Sport by Olimp Sport Nutrition. It is a supplement popular among athletes, which was created under the supervision of experienced scientists from the Research and Development Centre of the Olimp Laboratories pharmaceutical company, and contains a number of key vitamins and minerals.
