When you primarily want to significantly and rapidly lose
weight, experts and fitness gurus attest that yoga is not the
exercise of fitness regime for you.
But is there any reason why yoga would not be highly
recommended for weight loss?
Actually, it is a great and amusing fact that yoga and weight
loss are estranged bed partners. It is because yoga also
facilitate weight loss. When someone practice or do yoga,
expect that there would be a corresponding weight loss that
would follow suit.
Yoga truly is not the best and recommended exercise for weight
reduction purposes, but it could greatly help. It is not to be
compared to the widely popular calorie-burning and
cardiovascular exercises.
However, yoga also facilitate for improved agility and strength
in the large and core muscle groups of the body.
Doing yoga regularly and properly is said to be equivalent to
running, walking, rollerblading, swimming and cycling.
Thus, when regularly done and practiced, yoga can also lead to
a significant weight loss, to the advantage of the exerciser.
Here are some yoga exercises that are so simple and are aimed
at helping any person eventually lose weight in the long run.
Take note that great and proper execution of each of these
simple exercises are vital to the success of the weight-losing
yoga practice.
FROG STAND
1. Lowly squat. Place the hands on the below ground, resting
the triceps on top of the kneecaps. Then, tip forward, and lift
the feet from the ground and into position similar to a balanced
frog stand. Keep the position for 30 seconds.
2. Extend a leg in back, keeping it diagonally relative to the
floor, at the same time elongating the neck to maintain
balance.
3. Straighten the elbows, lift the legs, tip forward, then try
to press up slowly into a handstand.
These exercise strengthen the whole shoulder girdle. These also
help build up core muscles and enhance the body's overall
stamina.
BRIDGE
1. Lie down, faceup on the floor and then put the knees up,
then feet flat and grasp ankles using the hand, drawing the
heels close to the butt. Inhale, thrust the belly button up.
Release the hands. Put palms up, then dig the thumbs into the
tailbone and push the lumbar spine further up.
2. Move the hands palms-down near or beside each ear. Press up
into a U shape inverted position.
The exercise will improve posture through strengthening the
muscles along the spine. This would be very beneficial since
people spend more than 90 percent of daily daytime existence in
a slight and forward fold.
Do the exercises regularly or whenever you have the time to
properly and orderly execute them and see the weigh loss or the
difference in only just a span of a few days.
