I am 19 and am considering starting yoga, and i have a few questions:
*I have always been thin an fit, but i am not very flexible. can i still do yoga, and with time, will yoga make me more flexible??
*Is 19 too old to begin??
*Is yoga fun??
thanks everybody!!!!
Yoga is an awesome workout. Yes, workout, meaning, you’ll burn lots of calories doing it.
All those balance and stretching movements are like micro-muscle workouts. All your little muscles twitching and holding you in position takes lots of energy. Any routine that requires balance, is a "core" workout. (midsection).
You may not feel like your keeping up for the first week or so – but i promise – you’ll get Flexible plenty fast.
Is it fun? That’s really up to you to decide. It’s one of those love it or hate it things. As a gymnast, im flexible already – but nothing close to yoga queens. Im always "OMG..That move isn’t possible!" . lol This keeps it fun and challenging for me.
19 too old? Hardly. At our gym, we have 60-70 yr olds (woman AND men) joining yoga.
