4 Tips To Address Workout Wooziness

Everything is going smoothly and then suddenly in the middle of a workout, a spell of dizziness strikes. What are your possible set of remedies for such a condition? When I tried to look up for the cure, I came across peculiarly interesting suggestions. Some were really helpful while others were simply hilarious. Feel free to try them and share your opinion.

Contract and breathe

The prime reason for fainting is reduced blood supply to central organs especially the brain. Although yoga emphasizes on forced breathing, sometimes it is not enough. If you are potential swooner, then it is advised to contract your leg and thigh muscles. This will squeeze the blood supply in the peripheral region and focus to the supply on the central region.
 

Chin to chest formula

After an empowering yoga session with powerful moves, it is best to restore some energy. Relax for a while before standing up and keep the chin to the chest even while you are walking upright. Take several deep breaths before straightening the neck.
 

Think about the worst
 

Some healthcare practitioners would warn that dizziness in yoga is not to be taken lightly. If you get dizzy frequently, then it's probably due to some inner ear disturbances. In severe cases, it can be a sign of cardiovascular problems, neurologic disorders or the possible side effects of any medication. In any of these situations, the doctor has to evaluate your condition and the sooner it is done, the better it is for you.
 

Try coffee enema therapy
 

This option is as hilarious as it sounds. But moving on to the serious side, it is noted that patients who complain about chronic constipation have more potential to get woozy. This happens because toxins have accumulated as a result of constipation and cause dizziness while coffee will act as enema. If none of these methods help you to reduce workout wooziness, then its better to avoid any intense activity.

Winter Yoga Poses For Everyone

Summers are happening but winters are cozy. We get a lot of time indoors. So the best exercises for winters are the ones that can be performed indoors. Yoga is my favorite because it calms me after my holiday festivities and all the hectic chores of my routine. Some people take winter as a sign to hibernate, never really coming out of their cozy homes.

Even inside their homes, they prefer to stay in a slumber during vacation. For me, it’s the time to enjoy inner calm and peace. So what are you waiting for?  Get ready for an amazing winter.

Mountain pose is classic

This pose requires the performer to practice deep breathing known as pranayama. Now follow my lead to perform this pose.

Stand still and straight over a yoga mat with your feet stretched apart. Shift the heels in a way that your body weight is evenly supported.

Start with a deep breathing pattern such that your stomach and ribs can be felt as you breath in and out. Keep the neck aligned with the back throughout the pose. After a while you will be able to follow the relaxed breathing pattern. Keep standing in the relaxed position as long as you wish to continue the pose.

Supported shoulder stand

This is slightly challenging pose that allows the pure body and mind connection and soothes your inner body. Here is what you need to do for supported shoulder stand yoga pose:
Lie back on the yoga mat but do not let your head touch the ground. Now stretch your arms behind you and slowly lift your hips from the ground and while you are doing that straighten your back.

Use your hands to support your back and then focus on straightening your legs. It's all about balancing the core. Try to be in that position for one minute but if that’s causing stress in shoulder muscles then you can relax from that position. End the pose by bringing the legs on the mat. Try another set if you can manage.
