If you’ve been looking for a great exercise program, that both gives you a workout and is low impact, you won’t want to miss Runner’s Yoga. The program is designed by Van C. Powel, and has been endorsed by Olympic athletes and coaches, and by many others who took the “in person” training program. For the first time ever Van is making his Runners Yoga course available online.
The program contains a complete series of 7 training manuals (in PDF format), a series of movie and audio files, and some extra material to help you setup (and stick to) your training plan. This particular program is a 30-minute -per-day exercise routine that has foundations in both Eastern and Western theory (it’s not just yoga, and it’s also not just for runners).
It is a low impact – fat burning exercise program that touted to be the fitness program for:
- Strengthening and tone major muscle groups.
- Build your strength.
- Increase flexibility
- Improving balance and posture.
- Burning fat.
- Cardiovascular workout.
- Improving your mental focus.
After reviewing the materials that come with the course, I would say that this particular package is all that it is said to be and more. The eBooks are very well put together. They are written with an easy-to-follow style, and the professional model/photographer that was used in the creation of the books makes the system easy to learn and follow. The audio and video files greatly add to the learning experience and the extra material will make it easy to keep track and practice your routine. The system itself is very well thought out, and Van does an excellent job teaching it with the eBook package.
An Excerpt from Runners Yoga
Proprioceptors are little nerves in the
tendons, muscles, ligaments and joints
that send information to the brain regarding
proper movement and
alignment.An injury ‘deprograms’ these little guys
so that the brain no longer gets reliable
information about location and alignment
of that part of the body.Have you ever bruised a thumb or elbow
and then for a while after seemed
to keep banging it into things? That’s
because the brain is no longer getting
accurate information from the proprioceptors.One way to re-program them is through
balance therapy. Try this:…
I am definitely recommending this series to anyone interested in a great workout program that isn’t high impact and harmful to your joints. In this case though, you don’t need to take our word for it. Check out the video at the top of the page on the Runner’s Yoga site : any 50-something guy who is that buff, obviously has it right!
