Triathletes:
A little yoga goes a long way
Triathlon season is here! What are your goals this year? Sprint
distance, Olympic, Half Ironman or the full Ironman? However far
you intend to go, you probably spend a great deal of effort to be
as efficient as possible. Adding one more item to your training
regimen probably seems like an impossible feat. But adding a
few postures like the ones below to your post-workout stretching
can help you recover faster, alleviate tightness (think of your hips/
glutes and shoulders) and improve range of motion. A regular
yoga practice also develops mental focus and concentration,
which is invaluable when the race gets tough.
