Why I Love Yoga and Zumba!

Post contributed by Hilton Miranda

I confess: I am a total fitness junkie. I love everything movement. I hike, workout at the gym, walk, swim and dance. My friends think I am either nuts or obsessed; I think probably both :) Others think I have no life.

Truth is, I am sort of a paradox. I can easily immerse myself in a book for hours on end, or research on line for even more hours non stop. Similarly, since I started doing group Yoga, I love the peacefulness and relaxation I feel after a great hot group session, yet, the adrenalin rush I get during Zumba aerobics is enough to keep me coming for more. And if exercise is addictive, what better vice to have than that?

They say bad habits (or good ones, as in my case) are hard to break. Why not develop a good one?

The beauty of engaging in some type of 'opposite' -for lack of a better word-group exercise such as Yoga vs Zumba, for instance, is to experiment the difference between a slower type of activity (though, Yoga it's not necessarily slow, there are many types of Yoga movements) versus a fast aerobic, dancing type of aerobic exercise. Variety is the key.

Start today, join a group exercise class, take a walk, go for a jog down the park, take a hike...but be careful...don't forget to set your Home security system before you leave...safety comes first!
