Yoga vs GYM. Which one is better?

Intense weight training or Yoga?

This a question that leaves many fitness enthusiasts clueless. If your goal is to get lean, build muscle, and boost your physical and mental performance, both of these are great options.

Benefits of Doing Yoga:

  • Therapeutic and de-stresses the mind and body
  • Easy to pick up for beginners
  • Requires just a yoga mat for practice
  • Improves joint flexibility and mobility
  • Stimulates positive thinking and mental relaxation.
  • Yoga helps with back pain relief
  • Yoga benefits heart health.
  • Numerous studies show yoga’s benefits in arthritis, osteopenia, balance issues, oncology, women’s health, chronic pain and other specialties.

Benefits of Weight Training( Gym):
  • Boosts your blood circulation and purges toxins from the blood.
  • Burns plenty of calories and helps you lose weight.
  • Stresses your body and pushes it to perform at higher limits.
  • Keeps you healthy and disciplined and prevents the onset of several medical conditions.
  • Increases Bone Density.
  • Improves Body Composition.
  • Increases Metabolism.
  • Prevents Injury.

Weight Training or Yoga? Which is better for Weight Loss?

Yoga and weight training, of them, will stimulate your metabolism and will have positive effects on your body. But if you’re asking which of the two yields results quicker strictly in the weight loss department, the latter will win. This is because yoga isn’t designed to push you and burn belly fat or tone your body. Where the gym is concerned, you raise your heart rate and stay in a fat-burning mode, something that yoga isn’t designed for.

Conclusion:

Personally, we don’t recommend doing either yoga or going to the gym; instead, we recommend a combination of both. Yoga is a great start if you’ve been sedentary for a while since it’ll train your mind and body to ease into difficult and challenging moves. As you make gains in flexibility and mobility, you’ll find that hitting the gym gets much easier. However, if you are into fitness and go to the gym regularly you can jump straight to yoga and still yield the benefits it has to offer.

How should Leaders are spend their Day?

A Day With Leader. The leader 's responsibilities are not too different from any other developer on the team. In fact, if you’ve been working as a software developer for a few years, chances are you’ve filled the role of tech lead/ team leader at some point. Perhaps not officially, but most of us have, at anytime, called the shots on important pieces of work or been the go-to person on a particular project. Most ‘true’ leaders are “de facto” tech leads- leaders in all senses of the word, but without the fancy title. In teams that contain few people who satisfied different meanings of the tech lead/team lead role, with one who excelling at organization and big vision, another at right execution and day-to-day engineering, and another at better architecture, teaching, or getting stuff deployed smoothly. What does day look like? With wearing a leader’s crown, This is good for the team, but it adds challenges to scheduling time due to much of day is interrupt-driven wit

10 Things That Require 'NO' Talent! How often do we equate success with talent? All the time. But In real world, success isn’t created by talent alone. Just like we might see extremely large talent squandered, we also see underdogs unexpectedly overachieve. Here are 10 action that we can always control that require 'NO' talent yet have a big impact on our success/purpose. 1. Being on time:  Punctuality is a keystone habit that requires organisation and planning ahead—both of which lead to greater success. Here’s a good primer on why being on time is important and how anyone can make it a habit/pattern in day schedule. 2. Work ethic:  This is the discipline/control of showing up consistently and making the best decisions that lead towards the peak(or best) performance . best example is that Kobe is the best player in the league and he took a bus to a high school to get some work in. As Kobe said after getting drafted straight out of high school in 1996, “

1)  What Am I Capable of? What am I capable of?
 I mean really… what am I TRULY CAPABLE OF?  You see… the bar is always moving… Every time you reach the next level you GROW… and every time you GROW… your potential changes. It’s NEVER ENDING… YOUR GROWTH is unlimited in EVERY AREA. 2)  Lone Wolf The wolf on the top of the hill
 is never as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill. It’s not easy going it alone. But if you KEEP GOING, stay true to yourself… it will be worth it in the end. STAY STRONG. KEEP GOING. So don’t give in. Don’t settle. Don’t lower your expectations to fit into the world. 3)  Are You STRONG Alone? Success can be a lonely road. 

It can be a tough road. It can be a hard road. It’s certainly not for everyone… Those who follow others like sheep will never know who they truly are. Only those who follow their own path can discover the truth of their own potential. People love those who have the GUTS to be themselves. Those
