Nice little article supporting part of our training philosophy her at HIT Center :)

Short, intense bursts of exercise, followed by brief periods of rest, produced significant benefits for the heart and overall health.

This is a very good article covering the wrong implementation of yoga. People believe that yoga is for everybody due to fitness consumerism along with exploding popularity of yoga. This article explains that yoga isn't the best source for injury rehabilitation, that yoga was originally created for people who were already in shape, and the ego of instructors pushing their clients and themselves past the limit. Yoga has been advertised as a fitness program that can apply to anyone and its NOT. Flexibility does improve performance, power and quality of life, however there is NOT an unlimited amount of flexibility (or what yoga and pilates believe to be "muscle lengthening"). There is a limit, and your body should never be used as a limp noodle during a lot of these poses which require a lot of core and other supporting muscle groups to hold. You must strengthen these weaknesses before engaging in ANY yoga. The poses should not be held for prolonged periods of time like some instructors may lead you to believe. There are numerous cases where prolonged poses have caused oxygen deprivation to muscles and nerves causing them to lose function, lose activation abilities, and even permanent loss and tissue damage. It's also been the cause of moderate, severe, and life-threatening injuries of not only beginner students but also well experienced teachers. Make sure your fitness level as well as the ability to activate proper muscle groups are well developed before you get involved in a yoga program and NEVER let an instructor push you to or past your pain threshold.

Popped ribs, brain injuries, blinding pain. Are the healing rewards worth the risks?
