How can yoga help you lose weight?

Many office workers often sit for long periods of time at work and lack exercise. Nowadays, many women have been saying that they want to lose weight, but do not want to achieve their goals through exercise. Many of them rely on dieting to lose weight, which is very harmful to their bodies. Of course, losing weight requires controlling your diet. Let’s take a brief look at how practicing yoga can help you lose weight.

1. The first type: standing yoga

Key points of the movement: Stand up straight, chest out and abdomen in, hands hanging naturally on both sides of the body, shoulders relaxed; bend the left knee and lift it, place the left foot halfway down the calf or on the knee, stretch both hands toward the sky and put them together, adjust your breathing, hold the movement for 5-10 seconds; continue to maintain the leg movement, lower your hands to the chest, exhale at the same time, slowly adjust your breathing, hold the movement for 5-10 seconds, then return to a standing position, repeat the movement 20 sets.

2. The second type: Heroic Yoga

Key points of the movement: Stand up straight with your legs about shoulder width apart, left foot in front, right foot behind, right toes open outward about 60 degrees, and hands hanging on both sides of the body; then slowly stretch your hands forward as far as possible, put your five fingers together and put your palms together, keep breathing; exhale, bend your left knee to a 90-degree angle, keep your thigh parallel to the ground, hold the position for 15-20 seconds, then switch positions of left and right feet, and do 20 sets.

3. The third type: Triangle yoga

Key points of the movement: Keep your upper body straight, open your legs about one and a half shoulder widths, with your feet at a 60-degree angle, and your hands hanging on both sides of your body; raise your arms to the sides to your shoulders, inhale, and shake your upper body left and right; exhale, extend your right hand downward until it touches your ankle, while extending your left arm upward and looking up at the fingertips of your left hand. Repeat the movements in the same way on the other side, do 20-30 sets, and you can do it every day.

4. The fourth type: Boat pose yoga

Key points of the movement: Sit up straight, keep your legs together, bend your knees, and place your feet flat on the ground; raise your hands slightly, raise your legs until your calves are parallel to the ground, straighten your insteps, and lean your body slightly backward to form a V position. Hold the movement for 1 minute. You can do it 15 times a day.

The above is a relatively simple explanation of how to practice yoga to lose weight. Yoga for weight loss is very popular. Foods rich in fiber tend to make people feel full. So as an appetizer, a salad or vegetable soup is the best, and eating some fruit at the end of the meal is also a good idea.
