How Long Should I Practice Yoga to See Any Results?
When we talk about the time it takes to see the results in action, what every woman can immediately notice when it comes to yoga is the change in her mood and the benefits of the exercises and techniques performed in the class, even after a few weeks.
First, You begin to notice your breathing, then the weight of your body on one leg when doing balance exercises, then your willpower, the power of awareness of the moment, and the benefits of the period when You relax. Each person is an individual for himself, depending on the current state of consciousness, psycho-physical state, your openness to truly enjoy fully what yoga has to offer you, and your progress depends on it.
What else affects the achievement of results when practicing Yoga?
Even if we are not talking only about yoga, but about physical activity of any kind (running, swimming, brisk walking, rowing, volleyball, etc.), your results will also be affected by:
- The way you eat
- Amount of water and other liquids you take into your body
- Amount of time you exercise per day or during the week
- Whether you are a beginner or someone who is already in shape
- The intensity of the exercises
- Your plan, goal, etc.
We have listed only some of the important questions that you should answer yourself.
The first results can be seen after two months, six months, or a year, depending on the purpose and goal with which you started to exercise. Don’t forget the most important thing – Each of us starts from a completely different position!
If you are a beginner, physical results can appear after just one month, in the first four months, it will be enough to have 2-3 trainings per week lasting 45-60 minutes. After that period, it may happen that the number of trainings increases to 4-6 trainings per week. In this case, the results can be seen quickly if you aim to reduce body weight and improve the appearance and general condition of the organism.
What should a prescription for physical activity contain?
The prescription for physical activity should contain a unique formula – FEDT:- Frequency of exercise
- Exercise intensity
- Duration of exercise
- Type of exercises
In order for your training and personal transformation to be successful, it is important that you have the will, motivation, and perseverance in the process. It is also important to have an instructor who will suit you both in terms of sensibility and personality, as well as in the way he imparts his knowledge and teaches you to be what you want to be.
The instructor may, but is not obligated to, estimate what goals can be accomplished in a given time period, considering your current state. These are all pieces of the puzzle that You should understand, and when You know what You want, it is much easier to achieve your goals.
