Often we put off excuses and start exercising. Instead of using the above simple alternatives to remain in business, many people waste time trying to figure out what the best exercise to get out of inactivity. The rating of a particular type of exercise as “the best” is justified only when the person has a specific purpose, such as toning arms, increase muscle mass or rehabilitation exercises. Otherwise, if we select a good exercise to build and maintain a healthy level of physical activity, rather than worry about knowing what is best, we must ask is: what exercise I do and I have the ability to practice with discipline?
It is much more useful and easier to find the answer to this question if we analyze our preferences, time and resources we have. If we want to be more active to complement the benefits of a balanced diet, the decision to go for a walk, go to a gym or buy a bike for the house does not depend on one of these strategies is best for losing weight but the possibility to do the exercise with discipline . In other words, we must be practical. The activity you choose must be one that we enjoy because we like it and the benefits we provide frequent practice. In addition, the disciplined practice of physical activity will enable us to be less restrictive in eating.

What are the five main priorities in your life? Think again. Good health should be one of them, as you probably cannot take care of the rest if you need it. To give your priorities the importance they deserve, say “no” to those aspects that stand with them and separates the time to concentrate on your priority activities. Test devote yourself to your priorities and give them the time they deserve, you’ll be amazed how much time wasted on activities of little importance in your life. Some of your priorities can be combined.
For example, if spending more time with your friends or relatives is very important to you, perhaps you can combine with exercise, biking, running, walking or playing with your loved ones. If you want to exercise for an hour or more, it is not necessary to do everything together, but you can do two sessions of 30 to 45 minutes a day, for example, one in the morning and afternoon. If you only have 30 minutes, you increase the intensity of your workout for best results. Do not forget to vary your exercise routine and choose activities you really enjoy. If you do not like running, do not, because you end up feeling aversion to it day by day and almost always find an excuse to avoid it. On the contrary, if the exercise becomes a fun part of your life, we look forward and you’ll find time to do it.

The meditation practice describes a state of concentrated attention on an external object, thought, consciousness itself, or the actual state of concentration. The word “meditation” comes from the Latin meditatio, which originally indicated a type of intellectual exercise. Thus, in the Western religious sphere has distinguished between “meditation” and “contemplation”, reserving the second meaning religious or spiritual. This distinction becomes tenuous in Eastern culture, so that at the beginning of the influence of Eastern thought in Europe, the word would acquire a new popular use.

The kriya yoga is a set of techniques for meditation, which include pranayama (yogic breathing). According to Mahavatar Babaji, his first diffuser, kriya yoga is similar to raja yoga. The Kriya Yoga is described by its practitioners as an ancient system of yoga revived in 1861 by Mahavatar Babaji through his disciple Lahiri Mahasaya. The system consists of a series of techniques of pranayama designed to rapidly accelerate spiritual development and create a deep state of peace and union with God. Yogananda says in his books that to achieve and experience the state of samadhi you need the absolute cessation of all movement and activity of the body, stopping the breathing, brain activity, and metabolism.

The viniasa ashtanga yoga is a type of yoga popularized in the twentieth century by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009), who learned from his Satguru Krishnamachari (1888-1989). KrishnaNama told his disciple Jois, who had learned this yoga for seven years with his master Rama Mohan Brahmachari in the Himalayas. Brahmachari taught to memorize the text of an ancient Sanskrit text, the Yoga Karunta, which would have been written by the ancient sage Vamana Rishi. Krishna Nama Acharia, when in 1924 he left to his own guru, began researching this mysterious Karunta Yoga. After extensive research, found a copy (written in grape leaves) in the library of the University of Calcutta. Unfortunately, shortly after being found, the manuscript was completely eaten by ants and Krishnamarcharia could not preserve it.
