For women, the best frequency is once a month

People who don’t like doing strength training to lose belly fat should definitely try yoga. It can help you stretch your muscles and lose weight while improving your metabolism, elevating your inner self, and making the body’s internal and external circulation smooth. Let’s learn how to do yoga to reduce belly fat!

A very important reason for the accumulation of abdominal fat is the accumulation of stool. Yoga can restore the body's circulation and eliminate toxins, and the twisting movements are more effective in clearing out stool. If toxins accumulate in our body for a long time, they will cause pathology. In mild cases, the body will become swollen and the skin will become dull. In severe cases, our body will become sick. So we need to detoxify our body regularly.

Professional yoga coaches recommend that we practice "Yoga Cleansing" once a month to thoroughly detoxify and cleanse the stomach and intestines. Drink 500 ml of warm water in the morning, and then practice the yoga twisting movements in the following pictures, choosing movements of varying difficulty according to your personal level. After finishing, drink another 500 ml of warm water. At this time, try going to the toilet, but don't force yourself to have a bowel movement. Defecation must be natural and easy. There are many gatherings at the end of the year, with lots of meat and fish, and it is difficult to maintain your waistline. You might as well try the following yoga moves to make your waist slim and beautiful.

Step 1

Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat on the ground, and hands lightly placed on your thighs.

Step 2

Use all your body strength to lift your shoulders, neck, and head off the ground, keep your lower body still, and try to touch your knees with your fingertips. Do Step 1~2 10 times in a row, then rest for 1 minute. Do it 5 times before going to bed.

Step 3

Lie prone with your forearms flat on the floor to support your body, with your upper body slightly off the ground and your toes touching the floor.

Step 4

Support your body with your forearms and toes to lift your lower body off the ground. Hold for 20 seconds and return to Step 3 to rest for 1 minute. Do it 5 times before going to bed.

Tips:

How can someone who always feels like they are too busy find time to do yoga?

1. Tempt yourself

Even if you are busy all day long, tell yourself that you will feel more energetic, have clearer thoughts and be happier after doing yoga. Office workers who are always drowsy may want to consider taking a break from their work and doing some yoga, as their work efficiency will improve afterward.

2. Only do it for 15 to 30 minutes

If you were asked to drive half an hour to attend a 90-minute yoga class, wouldn’t you feel tired just thinking about it? In fact, all you need to do at home is a few sun salutations, followed by two standing poses, two forward bends and stretches, a twist, and finally a three-minute sit-down meditation; it only takes less than half an hour and the effect is just as good!

3. Focus on your “inner network” rather than your social network

Spend 10 minutes less on Facebook, send two less text messages or emails, and devote this time to yoga, and you will feel a stronger sense of happiness.

How can you quickly change your mood and enter the mental state for doing yoga?

You have to create some atmosphere, such as lighting a candle, facing a window with a better view, and trying to create a Zen space. You can also play your favorite music, preferably slow music. Start by enjoying your breathing. Most yoga teachers will say to take deep breaths, but I like to think of it as enjoying your breathing and letting the breathing process relax any tight parts of your body.

What exercises do you recommend to start your day right after waking up?

Spend three minutes doing three sun salutations, then do one minute of triangle pose and one minute of revolved triangle pose with each leg, then crow pose, one minute of seated forward bend stretch, twist your spine for one minute to the left and right, and finally end with two minutes of breathing; after you are done, you will feel your mind is super clear and you will be in a good mood to greet a beautiful day. Spend 15 minutes doing yoga and the return on investment will be very satisfying.
