STRENGHTEN YOUR BODY WITH PERSONAL TRAINING
Finding the right balance isn’t always easy, but key to help you stay grounded and support a strong and healthy body. A good diet, taking time to rest and building exercise into your routine are simple but powerful elements to leading a healthy life. Many studies show that those who exercise, are less likely to develop depression or anxiety. New interesting research has shown that our exercise habits may influence our sense of purpose in life, creating a virtuous cycle that keeps moving up and helps you flourish.

Resistance exercise has gained popularity over the last decade. With the help of weights, elastic bands or machines you’ll improve your muscle strength and tone which therefore protects your joints from injury. But what if you are dealing with a medical condition in your joints? Is it still advisable and relevant for you to explore resistance training?
Magnus Ringberg, MSc Sport Science, BSc Physiotherapist and well-known Yogaground friend decided to test this as part of his master science thesis. He set up a training program for a group of individuals diagnosed with knee Osteoarthritis. This exercise program varied in length, intensity, volume and frequency, to look at his hypothesis from all angles. Participants received anywhere between 1 and 7 exercises, intensity of which varied, as did the numbers of sets and reps. Outcome was measured through self-rated pain, function and capacity in physical function by the test group.
The conclusion was clear; strength or resistance training, reduces pain, and improves the functioning of the joint.
Join Magnus on Friday evening December 10, for his 360º Flow Super Session. Talking about moving those joints in all directions! It’s a great challenge to take your yoga a little further, evolving your practice. The day after, on Saturday December 11, Magnus will be teaching an extended Masterclass, where you’ll learn to build up a resilient and strong body from the inside out. Soon you’ll find both workshops on our event Calendar.
