Yoga To Lose Belly Fat

YOGA FOR WEIGHT LOSS

If you've done everything and cannot burn the fat in the abdomen and hips, it's a good time to start practicing yoga. Some of the yoga positions will help you to relax and lose weight.

In fact, the University of California reveals that restorative yoga is very useful to burn body fat.

“When you relax you reduce the level of the hormone called cortisol that is generated by stress, which is the one that favors the accumulation of fat in the body, mainly in the belly."

Maybe you think you need to be very flexible, but it is not like that. Consistency is the key to practicing yoga postures to lose weight and achieve the body you desire.

Perhaps when you look at a position, it may seem difficult or almost impossible to do, that´s why it is very important to have patience. Each posture has a variant that you can probably do, regardless of your current fitness level. There are accessories such as blocks, blankets, belts, chairs, etc., they can also help you perform a certain posture.

The most obvious physical benefits of yoga practice are the loosening of muscles that have been tightened by inactivity, tension and stress. The practice of asanas also increases the range of motion of joints, improves flexibility, and can help correct postural problems that may have resulted from weight gain.

The secret of these yoga postures to burn fat is to keep the body flexed for some time. When you start practicing yoga, staying in each position it may be more difficult than when you do a regular practice. I encourage you to observe and see for how long you feel comfortable in the position. However, as a general guide, you can start doing it for 30seconds, whenever you feel that you are not harming your body. Then you can gradually increase the time.

How often should you practice yoga to lose weight?

It is better if you can do it every day, but you can do it for 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 once a week.
