For an active retirement!

For an active retirement!
She has arrived, here is the retreat! You have worked almost all your life, I fully understand that you want to slow down, enjoy life, relax. On the other hand, it does not mean staying at home all day sitting in front of the TV or staying in bed. You must understand that your body is used to being in action constantly, every day. Going from one extreme to another could affect your health. It is important for your health to keep the body and mind active.
Discipline and motivation
It is no longer a secret, practicing physical activities is beneficial to the health of the body. But physical activity also helps to keep a healthy mind that will allow you to focus on your different new projects and develop your ideas. Think about it: doing physical activity requires motivation and discipline, two important factors for all retirees who want to stay active.
Muscle conditioning
Contrary to some misconceptions, muscle conditioning is within the reach of retirees and slightly older people. Whether sit-ups or exercises with weights and devices, muscle conditioning is fundamental to prevent the "melting" of muscles, also called sarcopenia. Working your muscles will strengthen your muscle fibers. Without muscular work, the muscles will atrophy, which can lead to a possible loss of mobility and autonomy.
Stretching and flexibility exercises are also important to work agility and maintain a good balance. Yoga, for example, which is becoming more and more popular is a good example of an exercise like this. By practicing this type of exercise that puts the bones in charge, it reduces the risk of falling and loss of balance. At the same time, one increases the resistance of the bones and consequently one reduces the risks of fracture.
Yoga, why not?
You suddenly find yourself with a lot of free time. It's a good time to make new experiences. It's time to be curious and to be interested in different activities that can spice up your daily life. Why not yoga? It's simple and easy to start yoga. No need for special equipment, only a rug. You do not even need shoes!
In addition, yoga improves posture, strengthens the back, strengthens the joints to finally tone your figure. There are many kinds of yoga. There is something for every taste. Sometimes you will want to get calm, go smoothly and take the time to take the time. Other times, you'll want to sweat, work hard and let off steam. The different styles of yoga meet all these needs!
Here at the Sporthèque, 7 different types of yoga classes are offered! I invite you to inform the members of the Sporthèque team about yoga classes. Do not hesitate to ask questions, teachers are very good!
