Body coordination while practicing yoga. Urmi’s Combination training guide for women at 50.
Urmi Kothari:
Extremely subjective to the exercise and injury history of each woman in her previous years. But for old age, resistance training is extremely important, train your balance, train your core and spine because immobility ages you so move. But move mindfully and not with high impact movements. Joint health is highly based on the strength and flexibility of your tendons and ligaments ..not just muscles.
Pilates, Slow hatha yoga, slow weight training, and gentle trampoline or water treadmill or cycling is great for the joints while still reaping immense benefits.

5 Key to build stamina? According to you what are the biggest challenges in training to run long-distance races? Recommendations for beginners?
Urmi Kothari
Sleep. Start SLOW and small —-most beginners start running fast and gas out.
The Key is to focus on longer duration and slower intensity till you build a base Train different energy systems once you have built a base of 4 weeks Graduate slowly to hill runs, interval runs (fartlek) and speedrunning (first focus on running technique and form before attempting any of these) You can go to a Physio and ask them to do a gait check

Dont listen to other people’s opinions. No one can make you feel what you dont want, WITHOUT your permission. It is not EASY to listen to your inner voice. But it is SIMPLE. Dont expect greatness without giving your energy, attention, and time to anything that you desire. Take action and let go…results will come to you.
