Dear friends , We all are always concern about our health, For that we make sure we have a proper diet,proper nutrition,Proper sleep and the most important proper Exercise. I have always taken care of my health in all the possible ways,As doing physical exercises in gym and having proper food. But recently came to know that Yoga is also another way to keep you healthy and fit,Whereas if you see the exercises in yoga are also very different.But does it helps to maintain the same stamina which we get by going for a gym. Which would you prefer YOGA or going to GYM...?

I would go with Yoga. Yoga can be done on a long term.But most of us cannot afford to go to gym for long term.Plus, there is lot more hardwork involved.But yoga is more than just exercise.Its like reconnecting with body.Especially after seeing DDP yoga and its handsome results, i would stick more to yoga.Most yoga people are able to do things with their body which most gym enthusiasts are not able to do.Yoga also helps in building stamina and best part of yoga is its natural.It also helps us to understand our body and mind better.Most yoga practicing people are able to do more things and move around even at the age of 90-95.I am aware of a 90 year old person who used to drive around in city.The secret of his health was yoga.In case of gym or yoga, food control is a must and so does proper diet. But then choice between yoga and gym definitely depends on the people and their interests.Thanks!

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well to be very honest, it would be unfair to differentiate Yoga and Gym as both are vital for us and hence we should never compare them. But still i would prefer Yoga if i am not able to find time to go to a gym and would have preferred Gym if i am not able to imbibe the postures and exercises in Yoga. So both are beneficial and useful and one should select them which one is preferable for them. What say?
