Think about a common day in your life or the life of a typical American. Most people wake up in the morning and then go to work. At work they are seated for almost 8 hours straight starring at a computer screen. They hunch in their chair and are in the same position for most of the day. The get off of work and go home, sit on the couch and watch T.V., eat, and then go to bed. What did the human body do during that day? It sat with bad posture and wasn't stretched at all during the whole day.
When muscles aren't stretched they tighten up. A few years of not stretching will result in your body not being able to function properly and results in injury when you do anything out of the ordinary. A simple slip would tear something in someone that isn't flexible but when your muscles are used to a full range of motion they will not tear with ease. What workout routine would benefit the typical American more than any other? Yoga.
People need to learn how to strengthen their muscles while forcing them through a full range of motion. Yoga is designed to increase flexibility while building lean muscle. I can think of no other better workout program than yoga. Pilates is also a great workout, but yoga does focus on flexibility to a greater extent than pilates. A great thing about yoga is that it compliments any other form of exercise, and adds to the gains you would receive.
