Answer To Your Fitness Questions" />A Great Exercise
July 14, 2008
Some keys to getting a good night sleep can be found in nutrition, meditation, specific yoga poses and breathing. Did you know that this muscle tension can be causes by too much AND too little activity during the day? If you are one who works out a lot and are overactive during the day, you need some great restorative poses. Make sure you get poses such as:
Bridge Pose
Child’s Pose
Legs up-a-wall
Corpse Pose
These will release tension and restore vitality and health. Be sure to always include your breathing, which can be done lying down or seated. But I prefer lying down because of my high activity level. So take long, deep inhales without any pause, filling the lungs up and releasing completely without force.
If you are underactive, you need more of a dynamic workout. It’s purpose is to remove the built up tension you have been working on for some time. May I suggest three Sun Salutations A and B, and maybe supported shoulder stand and Corpse Pose.
Our nutrition is very important to help promote sleep and I think we all know what to stay away from and what to eat, but for just a quick review, emphasize the foods that settle you down such as grains, vegetables, and beans. Always drink lots of water as we need to keep fluid balance! We especially lose this in the summer.
Hopefully, everyone, the above mentioned suggestions will help you get a sounder sleep. I know I need one!
