Aerobic VS Yoga

December 29th, 2007 by

I came up to this topic not because I want to compare the effectiveness of doing yoga vs doing an aerobic. I just want to share an experience of doing aerobic (which is dance aerobic) and yoga.

I started doing dance aerobic about 5 years ago with “Paula Abdul Get Up and Dance” (this is the title of the video if I’m not mistaken :P). The exercise was very “user friendly” and very “sweat generated” that I was very proud to be myself. I did this dance aerobic 2 days a week (on weekend).

Then I got married and gave birth to a son. It was like the time is not enough for me to did my dance. Doing my job as a lecturer, breastpump at work (I fully breastfeed my baby), then doing home chores, attend my son need, husband needs…bla..bla..bla. The chores goes on and on until I found out one day that I felt very weak (not sick).

I knew that lack of exercise made me feel weak. But for the time being, I may not practice aerobic because it may consume much of the time. So I choose to be a yoger (sorry for the word, I refer my self as a yoger : a person practicing yoga).

I had bought “Yoga For Beginner by Denise Austin. So, I woke up 30 mins early every morning (whenever my son is still sleeping and not breastfeed). The move is very easy for me to do, so I can do the move even without watching the video.

The result was so excellent. My husband said that I look more gorgeous and lean after doing that for just a week!

And for me, I love doing both dance aerobic and yoga. It is for the sake of time that I have to only practice yoga as my exercise regime.
