Yoga holds numerous benefits for both women and men, from improving your sex life, to increasing productivity at the office. Many men often seem to overlook yoga, thinking that it is only a good workout for women. This is untrue! There are many benefits men can reap from a good yoga workout– like the sessions we now offer at utime Fitness Studios.
Below we’ve included five reasons men should add yoga to their fitness schedule:
1. Improving your sex life
According to a study conducted in 2010, yoga improves sexual function for men. Benefits include: increased arousal, better erections, better ejaculation control, and improved overall performance. How?
Any anxiety you may have when it comes to sex will decrease, as yoga helps you become more aware of your body and increases your control. The increased blood flow from yoga practice improves the quality of your erections and the improved control of your pelvic floor will result in longer and better orgasms.
2. Decreased injuries
You often experience all sorts of aches, pains, and injuries from lack of physical activity or a sedentary lifestyle. Yoga helps prevent you picking up injuries by strengthening muscles and joints, as well as increased flexibility. Your range of motion will also improve as yoga reduces the tightness you feel in your muscles and joints. Other benefits of yoga include improving your posture and correcting your body’s alignment.
3. Tone and build muscle
Many men are under the impression that only weight lifting can build muscle. However, this is untrue– yoga uses your bodyweight to build muscle! Yoga lengthens the tissues and muscles while also improving your blood flow. An increase in blood flow means your muscles will get more oxygen which allows for faster recovery time.
4. Increases productivity
Due to our fast-paced lifestyles, we often feel tired and rundown. A twenty-minute yoga session has shown to improve emotional control, memory, and energy levels. Improved memory and energy levels mean you retain information for longer, thus you can make better decisions and have more focus and concentration.
Yoga has a meditation element to it that also has numerous benefits to your mental and physical well-being. Meditation has been proven to increase concentration, focus and energy levels.
5. Improves the immune system
Practicing yoga will also help you recover from colds and flu faster. Research has shown that regular yoga sessions help to boost your immune system and improves your body’s natural defenses.
The benefits of practicing yoga are numerous, for both men and women. Yoga is a challenging practice that pushes you mentally and physically.
