Yoga exercises for weight loss

Nowadays, obesity has become a major headache for many people. Many friends have tried various exercise methods to lose weight, but none of them have had much effect. In fact, aerobic exercise is very effective in losing weight, and among many aerobic exercises, yoga has the best weight loss effect. Well, we will introduce to you the practice methods of slimming yoga below, and friends who are interested can learn from it.

1. The first simple weight loss yoga exercise is to do the tree pose. Start in mountain pose with your feet together, toes fully spread and extended, using your front thigh muscles to drive the muscles near the knee joints. Straighten your spine and lift your chest and shoulders. Put your hands together in a prayer position, with your thumbs close to your chest and your elbows bent close to your body. Then lift your left foot and place it tightly against the inside of your right leg to maintain balance. Make sure your right leg remains upright and hold for five breaths. If you have poor flexibility and softness, you can place your left foot on your calf or foot joint and take a deep breath.

2. Continue with the first yoga pose for weight loss, then take a big step back with your left foot, lift your heel, straighten your leg, bend your right knee, make a straight line front and back, raise your arms up, put your hands together, press down your shoulders and back, and hold for 5 breaths.

3. Warrior shape:

Rest briefly, then start from the crescent, with your left foot flat, toes turned 30 degrees, legs still straight, and hips turned 90 degrees. Keep your right heel in line with your left instep, your knee at 90 degrees, your hips, body, and shoulders relaxed and centered, your arms extended at shoulder height, your palms facing down. Stretch your fingertips as if to touch a wall. Focus your eyes on the middle finger of your right hand and hold for 5 breaths.

4. T shape:

Start in warrior pose, place your hands on your hips, lean forward with your torso straight, lift your left foot, find your balance, then bring your torso fully forward and lift your left leg until your torso is parallel to it. Fully extend your left leg from hip to toes. Keep your hips straight and face toward the floor. Stretch your arms out at your sides with your palms facing inwards, and hold for 5 breaths. If this move is too difficult for you, you can start by resting your legs on a chair.

5. Half Moon:

Start in a T shape with your right hand's fingertips touching the floor. If you can't, place something on the floor to cushion your fingertips. In short, it’s best if your hands can touch something. Then transfer your weight to your right hand and leg. Lift your left foot off the floor, rotate your left shoulder, and keep your hips and left leg parallel to the ground. To better maintain balance, look up and hold for 5 breaths.

The above are some simple yoga movements for weight loss. Friends who want to lose weight can practice them. Before practicing yoga, you should do sufficient warm-up exercises. As long as you practice it every day, there will be obvious results. Friends who don’t need to lose weight can also practice it, because yoga not only has the effect of slimming down, but also has the effect of beautifying and maintaining youth.
