Aerobics exercise lovers there is some bad news for you. The long-term health benefits of aerobic exercises are now being questioned by the doctors.
Jane Fonda videos made aerobics a very popular form of exercise in the 1990’s among the fitness seekers. But, over a period of time people who did these high-impact exercises are getting a feel of how these exercises have taken a negative toll on their bodies.
You must be wondering what could be the possible negative affects of aerobics. Well, according to Wares’ doctor Jennifer Solomon, a lot of people who religiously did their aerobic exercises are now facing knee joint problems and an early onset of severe arthritis.
Dr. Solomon said,
you go into any health club and take a look at their schedule you’ll see that step aerobics is no longer there. High impact activity is no longer there. People are now into core stability and power workouts, which is less stressful on the joints.
No wonder, because of its low-impact, yoga nowadays has become a very popular choice. In India yoga has been followed for a very long time (approximately 5,000 years) as a spiritual form of exercise. But, with its immense popularity it is now a very lucrative business.
Do you know in the U.S. the hatha yoga is the most popular? Hatha yoga is a style of yoga which combines stretching and controlled breathing to achieve a flexible body, state of relaxation, and a calm mind.
So, go ahead, enroll yourself in a yoga class and enjoy the health and the spiritual benefits of yoga.
