Will we lose weight if we keep practicing yoga?

Yoga is becoming an increasingly popular sport, and it has many benefits. It not only strengthens the body, but also allows us to calm down and lead a slow-paced life. So, will you lose weight by persisting in practicing yoga? There is no doubt about this question. As long as we practice yoga correctly, it can help us lose weight to a certain extent. Now let us find out if we stick to practicing yoga, will we lose weight?

1. Sports

1. Swimming

Swimming is a good way to lose weight. It is also a good whole-body exercise and is very effective in improving cardiopulmonary function. However, many people are not very good at swimming. In this case, you can use brisk walking in the swimming pool instead, which is very effective in increasing your heart rate. However, friends who can swim should also pay attention to using swimming to lose weight. It is not a swimming competition. Don't pursue speed, just reach the heart rate requirement. At the same time, you must also pay attention to sufficient oxygen intake.

Swimming is a whole-body exercise. The calories burned by a person running in a standard swimming pool for 20 minutes are equivalent to running at the same speed on land for 1 hour. Swimming can cultivate your sentiments, temper your will, and keep you in shape.

2. Running (fast walking)

Outdoor running is restricted by the environment, so it is also a good idea to choose a treadmill. Letting go of the treadmill handrails can increase oxygen utilization by 8% and heart rate by 5%. Of course, you must first let go of the handrails under the premise of ensuring balance. Choosing a treadmill with a certain slope can improve the weight loss effect. Use interval training on the treadmill, which means you can exercise at a high speed for a while and then switch to a lower speed for a cycle.

3. Rope skipping

Rope skipping is easy to learn, the equipment is simple, and you can do it in a small open space. It is a very good aerobic exercise and can be said to be inexpensive. Rope skipping can increase heart rate and breathing rate within a few minutes and can reduce weight in a short period of time. Professional boxers usually use rope skipping as the main part of aerobic fat loss before the game. It can also exercise the coordination and sensitivity of the whole body.

4. Yoga

If you want to learn yoga, you must prepare a set of loose yoga clothes and a yoga mat. If you have uncoordinated movements or poor flexibility, you should not choose yoga. Long-term practice of yoga postures, breathing techniques and relaxation methods can prevent all kinds of diseases. In addition, the deep breathing exercises of yoga can increase the oxygen absorption of cells in the body, including fat cells, which increases oxidation and burns more fat cells, achieving a good weight loss effect.

5. Adzuki bean is a high-protein, low-fat food. It has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting diuresis, activating blood circulation and reducing swelling, and can promote defecation.

6. Garlic inhibits the formation of enzymes, thereby reducing the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol (the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol cannot be separated from the participation of enzymes)

7. Fungus is a food that is high in protein, low in fat, rich in water and minerals. It also contains a polysaccharide that can lower blood cholesterol, lose weight and prevent cancer.
