For those who, for whatever reason, are unable to engage in active sports, yoga exercises are a great way to lose weight. Excess weight comes off just as quickly as with physical exercise (running, aerobics).
Moreover, yoga not only promotes fat loss but also addresses the underlying causes of excess weight, primarily emotional and biochemical issues. This weight loss system will help you achieve optimal health and normalize your weight.
Yoga for weight loss includes a simple set of exercises that you can master fairly quickly if you're willing. However, maintaining static poses for long periods requires patience, persistence, and discipline.
During your exercises, concentrate your attention on the sensations in your muscles and monitor your condition.
Exercise #1. Improves the shape of your legs and thighs and eliminates excess fat deposits.
Stand up straight. Bend your right knee, extend your left leg back, and touch your toes to the floor. Your breathing should be even and calm. Hold this pose for 30 seconds, then return to the starting position and switch legs. Perform 3 reps on each leg.
Exercise #2. Strengthens the legs and lower back muscles.
Stand up straight and jump with your legs as wide as possible. Bend over and touch the floor with your hands. Pull your buttocks back until you feel a stretch. Breathe evenly and deeply. Hold this position for about a minute, repeating this exercise three times.
Exercise #3. Improves chest shape and posture.
Starting position: Lying on your stomach with your legs together and your arms extended forward, slowly lift your chin, then your shoulders and chest. Your stomach should touch the floor. Breathe deeply and rhythmically. Stay in this position for as long as you can, but don't strain yourself. Repeat this exercise 5 times.
Exercise #4. Static – for firm buttocks.
Stand up straight. Place your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, bend your knees slightly, and turn your feet outward. Keep your shoulders down and cross your arms at chest level. Hold this position for about a minute. Return to the starting position and repeat three times.
Exercise #5. For beautiful legs.
Stand straight in the starting position. Place your feet wider than shoulder-width apart. Rise up onto your toes and jump a few centimeters. Do 10 jumps. Land softly, first on your toes, then on the balls of your feet, then on your heels.
Exercise #6. Activates the heart and strengthens the abs.
Lie on your back with your arms at your sides, palms down, pressing into the floor. Slowly lift your legs and reach them over your head, lifting your lower back off the floor. Your knees should be level with your shoulders. Hold this position for about a minute, taking several deep breaths.
Exercise #7. To strengthen the abdominal muscles.
Lying on your back, bend your knees and draw them toward your chest, then slowly lift your legs up and support your lower back with your hands. This is called a “shoulder stand.” Stay in this position for as long as you can.
You need to perform these exercises regularly, and your body will soon begin to transform, achieving the results you desire. Yoga can help you lose up to 5 kilograms in a month. However, before you begin, you should familiarize yourself with all possible medical contraindications related to your health, so that instead of lightness and physical strength, you don't end up with more serious problems.
