| Posted: 24 May 2020 11:09 PM PDT So, I've been working on my flexibility for a few months without seeming to make much progress. I'm a guy, 190 pounds and 6 feet tall, with broad chest and hips. My body fat is 15%. I have a fair amount of muscle, though I'm no Arnold. A lot of the time, I feel that the limit on my motion is due to tissue getting squished and being in the way. Especially drawing my knee to my chest, I feel that my calf runs into my hamstrings. How much can stretching really improve my flexibility, if I am always running into myself before the muscle is even stretched? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 24 May 2020 11:05 PM PDT Western science is beginning to find evidence and catch up with a lot of eastern philosophy that has been known for a really long time. The body/mind is actually something very powerful and is worth investigating. The more control we have in our mind the more power we have in our life. Yoga has the capacity to change your brain. There are four components that really make yoga what it is. One of these is the most obvious one which is the physical postures, the stretching, the exercises, the movements, the breathing techniques, and the relaxation techniques. This is an important component that is working the body to affect our global functioning. Another critical area is the idea of self-regulation, the ability to control our internal stress response and to control our emotions. This is basically reflected as resilience and equanimity, the face of emotions and that leads to psychological self-efficacy. Another really key area is the cultivation of mind-body awareness, the sense of being able to feel and experience what is going on in the body and also to experience what is going on mentally, to be able to observe the flow of thought. This kind of cultivation of mind and body awareness leads to increased mindfulness that can change behaviors in a very positive way. The final component which is really reflecting the traditional origins of yoga is the practice of meditation. The idea of experiencing these deeper states, this virtual states if you will, transcendent states, even if they are of short terms, these kinds of experiences you get can really be transformative. It is helping people to find a positive lifestyle and to have them grow towards positive goals in life and to improve and enhance there life meaning and purpose. For those who have experienced the benefits of yoga for themselves they don't need any evidence, they don't need any research to convince them that yoga can help. For others who like a little more robust scientific systematic way of looking at what is actually going, there have been done recently researches in the field of yoga for depression and anxiety disorders. The most significant result that was found was the reduction in measures of depression. Through comparing a group of people who were doing their yoga practice, in a period of six weeks, wails still continuing with there regular treatment, and the other just there treatment but without doing yoga practice, there was a significant difference between the two groups. There was a thirty-three percent reduction in the group of people who were doing the yoga practice and a significant reduction in scores of anxiety, in overall psychological distress, there was an increase in resilience. That is a really important measuring in mental health. There were increases in the frequency of positive experiences and a reduction in the frequency of negative experiences. The average amount of yoga that the people were doing was twelve minutes on a regular basis, most days of the week, over a period of six weeks. The most important measure was the reduction of depression and anxiety scores but each of the other measures gives a more overall picture of improvements in mental health. The evidence supports the whole idea that if people do something that includes movement, breath, mindful attention and relaxation, using the framework of yoga, a little bit each day really does bring out some pretty significant results.

| Sharp pain in the thighs when stretching. Posted: 24 May 2020 04:46 PM PDT I am acquainted to flexibility training, I am happy with the flexibility progress that I have made in the past year or so. However I just cannot stretch the abductors. Whenever I externally rotate my hips (I think?) when stretching the abductors, I feel a sharp pain in the inner thigh, I just cannot point at a certain area, it is inside the thigh. It is a sharp immediate pain that goes away slowly if I stay still, but then if I push through it, afterwards I need to come out of the stretch very very slowly because it hurts. The only stretch that does not hurt is middle split but with toes pointed forward. I did that stretch for a month or so and I really felt like making progress but in some thread on this subreddit the consensus was that it is really bad for the knees, so I stopped doing it. I am just wondering if anyone experienced this and what did you do? [link] [comments] | ||
| How to differentiate the pain? Posted: 24 May 2020 11:33 AM PDT New guy here looking to improve my flexibility for badminton. How do I know if the stretch is healthy? After warming up, i start off doing Antranik's Standing Splits. I'll be real, it looked like child's play but when I did it lord knows how much i was laughing at myself cause i couldn't keep my leg straight. So i started pushing and testing on how much i can keep my leg straight without being uncomfortable. After gauging how far i could go, I pushed my limit on how i can straighten my leg and start to feel "pain". The pain disappears immediately after i stop doing it. I can walk fine after attempting to do the stretch. Is this safe and healthy? How do i know if the pain i felt or am feeling is unhealthy? When should I stop and take it easy?

| From Stiff and slightly hunched to flexible and mobile posture thanks to the Skin the Cat Posted: 24 May 2020 09:51 AM PDT Working primarily from my home office during the last months has kind of created some bad posture habits... Especially sitting all day in front of my laptop with poor posture has stiffed up my shoulders and my upper back. Fortunately, I started doing a very good gymnastic exercise a couple weeks ago called "skin the cat". It's a basic movement on the gymnastic rings which I perform in my garage. It's an amazing exercise as it strongly stretches your pecs, shoulders, and upper back. As a result, you will have increased flexibility and mobility in your shoulders and just feel a lot better and mobile (at least that's how it went for me). In case this is of any value for you, you can check out the video which I followed covering this movement and some easy progressions here. [link] [comments] | ||

| Lot of joint pain after streching. Posted: 24 May 2020 07:32 AM PDT Hello everyone. I have started doing yoga regularly to get more flexible 2 months ago. I am doing a 30 min flow 5 days a week and during the first month i have felt amazing and my body was very flexible even when I was cold. After a while, I was unable to strech as I used to even during yoga when I was warm. For example, I could easily to a half pidgeon but now it hurts much more when I do it. Nowadays when I am cold and if I do a simple strech like touching my toes, I feel pain. It wasn't like this when I first started. What could be the reason? [link] [comments] |
