How to do yoga ball weight loss exercises?

Yoga is an ancient Indian sport that has now become a global practice. Yoga exercises are performed slowly with the accompaniment of beautiful music, so people feel that practicing yoga is a kind of enjoyment. When practicing yoga, you can practice with your bare hands or with the help of a fitness ball. Today, I will introduce some yoga poses performed with fitness balls:

1: Wall-mounted chair

Action: Place the fitness ball close to a wall with your upper back resting against the edge of the ball. Using the ball as a pulley, exhale and slowly bend your knees until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Once you're done, hold the pose for 15 seconds. Inhale, slowly lift your thighs and return to the starting position. Repeat 3 to 5 times.

Effect: Through the squat action, you can exercise the quadriceps of the thigh, enhance leg endurance and lower limb stability.

Tips: Keep your feet on the ground and your back straight.

2: Locust pose on the ball

Action: Kneel behind the ball, with your thighs and abdomen pressed against the ball, and your hands on top of the ball. Exhale, support your body with your hands, lie flat on the ball, and balance on the ground. Inhale, lift your left leg, bend your right knee, and support your right thigh with your right foot. Hold the pose for 15 seconds. When you're done, return to the starting position, switch feet and repeat. Repeat 2 to 3 times.

Effect: Exercise the buttocks and posterior thigh muscles, enhance the buttocks line, and help prevent buttocks from sagging and deformation.

Tip: Focus on your buttocks and the back of your thighs, keeping your legs straight.

3: Head-knee kick on the ball

Action: Sit on the edge of a fitness ball with your legs together. Inhale, raise your hands, and keep your back straight. Exhale, bend forward, keep your abdomen close to your thighs, your forehead close to your calves, grab your ankles with both hands, and press them on the ground. Hold the pose for 15 seconds. After finishing, inhale and return to the starting position. Repeat 3 to 5 times.

Benefits: Stretches the back and posterior thigh muscles, promotes blood circulation, and makes the legs more elastic and soft.

Tips: Keep your legs straight, relax your back muscles, do not hold your breath, and practice abdominal breathing.
