Men who do Yoga

Haha celebrities endorse exercises , doesnt mean they do them, Id say his evergreen persona is more down to the last 38 odd years of healthy living than a few months of yoga. Bikram yoga is just another one of these passing fads , exercise is exercise.

The United players have been doing yoga for more than a few months. I remember Roy Keane saying he was taking lessons alongside Ronaldo and a few others. It is surely beneficial for keeping people strong and agile so I'm not sure why Giggs would lie. He's not just any celebrity either, he is exactly the kind of celebrity that would do something like this.

Celebrities endorse brands, not exercises. Giggs has been doing yoga since 2003, not quite "a few months".

Also, "exercise is exercise"... what?

Yoga is a brand , major corporations are involved under the yoga banner, equiptment training gyms and so on. There surely is a fund .

Giggs drinks very little , his vices are sleeping with loose women , he eats healthy ,I think its unfair to say its all down to Yoga.Its even unfair to say any of it is down to Yoga.

Giggs said it helped extend his career, so it obviously did contribute. No-one ever said it was all down to yoga.

Exercise is exercise , there is a million different exercises that help achieve whatever your goals are , healthy eating and good rest for repair is the most important thing , the exercising part is just a percentage of it.

This is true. It depends on your goals and profession. The way you said it in your previous post made it sound like you were one of those "any exercise will do, sure it's all burning calories" people.

A form of yoga popularised in the 70s is a passing fad? Some fad.

It may have been used in the 70s its this years big thing like kettlebells were last years big thing .

Yep, says Wiki anyway. It's been around for quite some time.

Bikram Yoga was created in the '70's.

Quincy Jones and Jeff Daniels are both featured and pictured in Bikram's Yoga book published in the 80's I think.

BTW, Bikram himself is Dublin this weekend! He is giving a talk in UCD tomorrow night - tickets can be got at the door afaik

I tried moksha yoga a couple of weeks ago, its very similar to Bikram. I didn't like it though, waaaaayyy too hot for me.

Plenty of guys in the class, still a majority of women though. And I tell you if any of them went with the intention of eyeing up women, all they saw were sweaty messes. I was so jealous that they could take their tops off to cool down.

Pretty sure they were just doing it for fitness. My dad does triathlons and he goes to a men's pilates class because it is good for toning and strengthening and lengthening the muscles in addition to his other training. That whats he told me anyway. Just a coincidence the instructor was an amazing looking Spanish girl!
