Common Questions and Answers about Increasing flexibility yoga
flexibility
What about yoga and increasing your flexibility? I have noticed when I stretch and do my yoga first that my back problems are much easier to deal with while working out.
What about acupuncture? I did this with my second pregnancy for my migraines and morning sickness.
I'm just starting to lose my pregnancy weight from my third child who was a csection 15 months ago but I had some complications that hendered my weight loss but those are getting under control now slowly and surely.
Thanks for the suggestions Dr. Gross, I appreciate your response. I have been working on increasing my flexibility very consistently but it hasn't helped. My core strength is pretty good and it was a consistent part of my workout routine, but what exercises do you suggest? And which hip flexor stretches would you recommend?
Also, I forgot to include that studying meant I was sitting in a chair all day and a lot of the time I was leaning forward with my back hunched.
As your skill builds, the added poses become increasingly challenging in different ways, which makes yoga an exercise routine that grows with you. Another basic yoga concept is that everyone is on his or her own path, progressing at his or her own pace. So leave behind the competitive spirit or fear that you’re not as good as others. Be sure to let your instructor know you have arthritis so he or she can help adapt the poses to match your personal physical limits.
So, I just had my first prenatal yoga class and it was amazing. The stretches helped my lower back soooo much. I highly recommend it!
I want to increase flexibility and muscle tone. Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent yoga/exercise DVD?
You can actually increase your height with certain foreign physical activities, and simple things like yoga. You do a lot of stretching, you can actually grow an extra inch at the end of the class, and if you do it regularly, build up muscles and strengthen your posture you will truly appear taller. You can stretch your legs, and your spine. But your a guy, so you may find yoga to be a little girly for you. The thing is, its very good for strengthening as well if you find the right kind.
If you can understand that with increasing age the flexibility decreases and you can regain that with much practice and concentration. You need to strengthen your feet with proper exercise and control over a period of time, we are sure you can do better than what you are doing now and under a good trainer. Take care!
Prenatal water aerobics or just swimming in general is easy and feels good
Stretching isn't the best way to improve flexibility—lifting weights through a full range of motion is, according to a recent study at the University of North Dakota. Pausing for 2 to 3 seconds at the "down" position of the lift (where you feel the stretch) without relaxing your muscles is even more effective.
I love Zumba too but i wouldn't starting Zuma though if you weren't doing it before your pregnancy only because it is a lot of jumping and can be intense. Yoga is a good idea. It really is a good workout and you don't bounce around or exert too much. It is amazing for strength and flexibility and burns calories too.
I Also do squats as the shower is running before I get in to help my thighs and butt. Prenatal yoga too for flexibility. You can get a cheap DVD from Walmart.

I get them occasionally... They come and go and last for a few seconds to a few minutes. Sometimes the areas just feel sore... Like I was doing a crap ton of sit ups. I do prenatal yoga though and every week for a few days after class the pains aren't as intense... I guess from all the stretching & strength & flexibility exercises.
This is ny first pregnancy. I'm 18+3.
Usually the main predictors of aortic dissection are family history, aortic size, and aortic flexibility. For someone of your aortic size, I would take it easy. Try the ARB approach with a max or ultra-max high dosage (as long as your doctor lets you) and see if that reduces aortic size and aortic flexibility (the "pulse pressure" is one way to estimate the flexibility - Google it). If so, then perhaps you can talk to your doctor about athletics.
I took prenatal yoga and pilates classes which helped with flexibility and breathing! I wish i could find the time to take some classes with my second.
