CHAIR YOGA
Chair Yoga is a sub-discipline of Modern Yoga. It is a type of Yoga designed for everyone, for people of any age. It is suitable for young and busy adults, always at the office and unable to carve out time to exercise, as well as for the elderly with limited mobility or people who have suffered injuries and need a gentle recovery. You simply need to transform a chair into a perfect tool for gymnastics.
Chair yoga workouts can be performed by alternating different groups of exercises. These groups of exercises can be divided into: 1) Breathing Exercises 2) Warm-up exercises 3) Endurance exercises 4) Power exercises 5) Stretching exercises.
Breathing and warm-up exercises are ideal to start the training session: the former allow you to relax and find concentration, while the latter allow your muscles and joints to activate and prepare for the actual training session. Resistance and power exercises, on the other hand, form the very heart of the workout: they train the body to perform both less intense but longer-lasting exercises and more intense but shorter-lasting exercises.
BREATHING EXERCISES.
Breathing exercises are a form of meditation. Focusing on the breath and in particular on the sound emitted during the inhalation and exhalation phases, constitute an effective exercise for relaxation and concentration. These exercises, moreover, train the body to control the breathing phases (inhalation, breath retention, exhalation) and a type of breathing defined as diaphragmatic. They are also useful tools for improving lung capacity.
WARM-UP EXERCISES.
The following group of exercises has the function of preparing the body for the next phases of training so that muscles and joints are ready for higher-intensity exercises without the risk of injuries and traumas of various kinds. These exercises, in fact, focus on activating muscle function and joint mobility.
ENDURANCE EXERCISES.
The following pages show a series of aerobic exercises aimed at improving the ability of muscles to resist fatigue. “Muscle endurance” refers specifically to the ability of a muscle to cope with moderate but prolonged exertion. These exercises lead to an increase in red muscle fibres, so-called because of their characteristic red colour due to the rich presence of capillaries.
STRETCHING AND JOINT MOBILITY EXERCISES.
“The muscle contraction must be paired with another type of muscle work aimed at elongating the muscle fibres; this is to avoid any muscle shortening and, therefore, any consequent rigidity or poor elasticity. It should also be emphasised that a sedentary lifestyle, with little movement, not only leads to a loss of muscle tone, but also to a tendency to stiffness of muscles and joints. This is because muscles lose their intrinsic elasticity, i.e. their ability to lengthen and shorten rapidly, and joints lose their full range of motion.
Stretching exercises, therefore, aim not only to preserve these aspects but also, and above all, to improve them.
STRENGTHENING EXERCISE.
The following exercises ere extremely effective in training a specific aspect of muscle work: ‘power’, that is the ability of muscles to cope with very intense but short-lasting exertion. The muscle fibres used for this type of work are the white muscle fibres characterised by a very rapid contraction capacity.
The proposed exercises can be performed with the help of very light weights. You can start with two dumbbells of 0.5kg or 1kg each and eventually increase the weight over time.
