Tim Lenczowski finally decided it was boot camp. He had serious health problems and had begun walking to help them. With the encouragement of friends he has progressed to losing 120 pounds, owning his own boot camp franchise and curing his symptoms of heart failure. What are his recommendations? Find a plan that works for you, Build a support system, Set goals, Challenge yourself, Focus on your goals mentally, and have Fun. Tim was able to do this because he got a health wake-up call in the form of hypertension and a serious heart problem. Many get the call, but decide not to answer. Why wait? Why not do something before the call? Walking, kick boxing and and finally boot camp were solutions for Tim, but not without encouragement from his friends. How do your friends and family encourage you? How do you encourage them? This not your solution? How about Yoga?

Lifehack.org is a blog, forum and general site with multiple authors on “how to” subjects from academics to “yoga”. In the link above, lifehack authors write about yoga. One of the impressive items in the article is a list of articles from reputable medical journals assembled in a list entitled “Yoga works, plain and simple“. Among the claims substantiated are its positive effects on Back Pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Weight Loss, Diabetes, Fibromyalgia and many others.

I did not know the difference between the types of Yoga. I had heard the words Vinyasa, Iyengar, Jivamukti etc… but did not know the type of yoga practice each entailed. The lifehack article lists and defines 12 different types. The authors says you have to know what you want and need from Yoga. Then pick the type best suited to meet your desires. I recommend you visit the article and get the benefit of the author’s words directly.

I will end my article the same way the yoga article ended:

NAMASTE

(according to the author, a Sanskrit word for the light in me honors the light in you)
