Can Yoga Make You Strong

Most weight lifters simply do not stretch enough. The older you get stretching becomes increasingly important.

In my article How to Build Muscle Faster, More Efficiently and Safer I make it clear that Yoga can be very helpful in muscle building. There is no better way to increase flexibility.

If you are reluctant to give up an hour of weight lifting check out Can Yoga Make You Stronger?

Look at it this way, Yoga is body weight muscle building with an emphasis on flexibility.

So before you dismiss yoga blast through a 15 minute workout doing 3 minutes each of the following body weight movements, add in some bridges and side planks for core work, and then tell me how a continuous hour of these type movements would feel:

The Push Up Variation 1
Variation 2
Variation 3
Variation 4
Variation 5

Body weight exercises can be VERY effective. No extra weights required.
