Yoga exercises for weight loss

Losing weight by practicing yoga is a very popular sport nowadays. Yoga is a body-shaping activity that many female friends love very much. Through proper yoga practice, you can shape a perfect body and achieve the goal of losing weight. However, there are some things you need to pay attention to when practicing yoga to lose weight. Regarding the precautions for weight loss through yoga practice, let’s take a look at the introduction in this article.

Losing weight mainly depends on consuming calories. The most effective way to lose weight is to scientifically control your diet and exercise effectively. Therefore, unless it is some special yoga exercises such as hot yoga, it is difficult to achieve the goal of weight loss in a short period of time by practicing yoga. Many people do not lose much weight after practicing yoga, but their body composition structure is better than before. This is the ultimate goal of yoga weight loss.

Many people are not suitable for practicing difficult movements

People with hypertension and heart disease: Not suitable for movements such as handstand and wheel pose.

When doing headstand and wheel pose, blood will flow backwards, which can easily cause insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, ischemia, and lead to shock.

People with herniated disc and spondylolisthesis are not suitable for forward bending movements such as sun salutations and wide-angle poses.

Among the most basic yoga movements, Sun Salutation is one of them. Practitioners must bend their waist downward. People with spondylolisthesis may experience vertebral slippage again due to such movement. People with herniated disc may also suffer from more severe compression of the nerves in the lower limbs due to careless bending.

Some yoga poses require the use of limbs such as hands or feet to support the body weight, which can easily lead to fractures if you have osteoporosis. The hoe movement is a taboo for patients with osteoporosis.

In addition, if you experience joint pain or tendon inflammation every time you practice yoga, it may be that your body is not flexible enough and is not suitable for doing difficult yoga moves.

The above is an introduction to yoga practice for weight loss. Yoga itself is a sport that requires muscle strength to perform, so it is recommended that female friends with thin bodies should exercise more before practicing yoga, otherwise it is easy to strain muscles and cause harm to the body, so you need to pay attention.
