How to use yoga ball to lose weight

Yoga balls are auxiliary tools for practicing yoga and are generally popular among women, although some men may also choose them. Practicing with a yoga ball has a good body-shaping effect. It is the first choice for those who want to lose weight and shape their body without being too tired and want to use tools. However, the yoga ball also has certain requirements for the body, and you need to have better flexibility so that you can move freely on the yoga ball.

1. Dancer pose: Place the yoga ball about 0.5 meters in front of your body and press the ball with both palms. Lift your left foot and pull it up with your left hand, hold for 30 seconds and then return to the starting position and do the same on the other side. Effect: Strengthen waist and abdomen, reduce back and buttocks fat.

2. In the fighting position, place the ball under your hips, bend your front leg 90 degrees, and make sure the soles of your feet are completely in contact with the ground. Remove the ball from your hips, lift it high, and hold it with your arms straight for 30 seconds. Effect: Strengthen thigh muscles and eliminate excess fat in lower limbs.

3. Stick balance: Place the ball 0.5 meters in front of your body, support your body with both hands on the ball, and lift your left leg straight up. Raise your right arm, look forward, tighten your abdomen and buttocks, keep breathing normally, hold for 30 seconds, then relax and start again on the other side. Benefits: Train balance and eliminate fat in the arms, abdomen, buttocks and thighs.

4. When inflating the ball, inflate it until it is 80% full. This will make the ball more elastic and easier to clamp and grasp. Yoga balls come in various sizes. Beginners can start with small balls, which are easier to control. Generally speaking, large balls are easier to keep balanced, while small balls are lighter but more difficult to balance.

5. You can do this even if you have back injuries. Because the force is gentle, yoga ball exercise is relatively safe. Even people who have back injuries and need rehabilitation treatment can practice it. It can avoid excessive impact on the joints, making it a lot easier to do.

6. Train the body's balance. The yoga ball is an "unstable" sports equipment. When you use the yoga ball to leave the ground, you must try to maintain balance, prevent the ball from rolling, and prevent yourself from falling off the ball. This requires comprehensive strength control of the legs, waist, and abdomen, which can well maintain the body's coordination and muscle strength.

7. Massage effect. The yoga ball movements will try to make the body make full contact with the ball surface, and the yoga ball is made of soft PVC material. When the human body comes into contact with it, the yoga ball will massage the body evenly and gently, which is beneficial to promoting blood circulation.

8. Correct your posture. When you sit on a yoga ball, various parts of your body are constantly making subtle adjustments to keep your body stable. These small movements can promote blood circulation, strengthen the waist, back and abdomen, make you sit up straight and open your shoulders involuntarily, and correct your long-standing incorrect sitting posture.
