3) Restorative Yoga
While quieting your mental noise, this workout combines gentle lengthening and strengthening poses and postures. This beneficial stretching has been shown to be valuable to spine health, which can’t be overemphasized as you age.
Without a healthy back, your overall range of motion is going to suffer dramatically, making simple everyday movements painful and difficult. “Having a healthy, flexible spine is not just about maintain good posture,” Meghan Covington, owner of Mind Body Fitness NYC. “It’s about improving quality of life in the long run.” Yoga is also an ideal choice if you’re looking to reduce those aches and pains of aging.
Newbies should try a class with a registered yoga teacher to get the full rewards of the poses. Instructors can offer important modifications to anyone with injuries to help strengthen and prevent future occurrences.
