I have a question about stretching and yoga

[tinhyeutoihat]

I like exercising. I always do high intensity cardio or cardio+resistance training (low weights + high reps) workouts 5 days a week.

Some people advise me to do some stretching and yoga.

Do you think that it is really necessary to stretching? With my level of activities, I really feel limber enough, but I am not sure if I suffer anything in the long term.

By the way, I can do stretching, but I do not like Yoga at all because it is a spiritual or religion-related exercise. I only like physical fitness workouts, not a religious workout.

Can anyone give me advice? If I do stretching, do I need to do Yoga?

Thank you very much!

i dont think yoga is necessary as i feel the same way you do about the spiritual part of it. as long as your already stretching and you do enough cardio, it doesnt sound like you need it!

I have been using Beachbody company's products. I know that this company's focus is helping people become healthy and fit and get in shape, so I believe that Yoga poses in those programs are just used for physical benefits. However, I still dislike Yoga.

If you say so, I am totally confident with what I am doing now. I will never touch Yoga.

Thanks, again! Good night!
