Lose Weight: Fat Burning Yoga Workout


Lose belly fat with these fat burning yoga exercises

by Women's Health Magazine


Crush calories with heart-revving yoga.

You contort into all kinds of wacky positions wriggling into those skinny jeans. Bend and twist on a regular basis and that might not be necessary. An active sequence of yoga flows — a form called vinyasa — burns more than 450 calories an hour, according to Sara Ivanhoe, host of 20 Minute Yoga Makeover: Weight Loss.

These two flows provide a total-body workout. Repeat each one 5 to 10 times.



Backbend

Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Lace your fingers behind you (palms facing up). Inhaling, bend from your upper back, lift your chest, and press your shoulders down.

Forward Bend

Soften your knees and bend forward as you exhale, letting your torso hang in front of your thighs. Keeping your arms straight and fingers locked together, lift them up and over your head (ultimately reaching toward the floor in front of your feet).

Chair

Inhale and bend your knees into a squat. Unlock and straighten your fingers, then separate your arms. When your thighs are nearly parallel to the floor, move your arms toward your ears. Keep your weight on your heels. Inhale, stand up, and lower your arms to your sides. Exhale.

Downward-Facing Dog

Get on all fours, lift your hips, and straighten your arms and legs.

Plank

Inhale as you shift forward into the top of a pushup position with your arms straight. Exhale, bend your elbows (keep them pointing back and hugging your body), and lower your body until your chest is on the ground.

Cobra

Uncurl your toes so the tops of your feet are touching the ground and press your tailbone down. Hug your elbows in as you inhale, straighten your arms (keep a slight bend), and lift your chest off the ground. Exhale as you gently release your body back to the ground. Inhale, curl your toes under, and press your hips up and back into downward-facing dog. Exhale.

  3. 3 Best Bodyweight Exercises for At Home Workouts

    Here are 3 kick-butt bodyweight exercises you can do to burn fat,
    stay energized, and avoid overeating.

    Bodyweight exercises help you burn fat shockingly fast, without any
    fancy equipment.

    1) Any Single-Leg Exercise
    The pistol (single-leg squat to the floor) is the most advanced
    1-leg exercise. But you can also do assisted single-leg squats with
    a band, or onto a bench, or even with a Stability Ball between your
    back and the wall.

    If you aren't ready for single-leg squats, you can use Bulgarian
    Split Squats, Reverse Lunges, regular split squats, or lying 1-leg
    hip bridges if you are a beginner.

    2) Decline Push-ups
    These are harder than normal pushups, thanks to your elevated feet.
    And in this position, you can still use a close-grip to fatigue
    your triceps, a "piked-hip position" to build your shoulders, or
    even the Spiderman leg motion to work on your abs.

    3) Bodyweight Inverted Rows
    I choose these over chinups and pullups because bodyweight rows let
    your chest rest, while your back is strengthened. It's the perfect
    compliment to a pushup.

    Do 8-12 repetitions per exercise. Don't rest between exercises. Go
    through the circuit up to 3 times, resting 1 minute after each
    circuit.

    For a once-per-month challenge, do each exercise to failure in your
    final round through the circuit.

  9. Burning fat is too hard but the outcome is worth the pain. I have been trying to reduce my body fat since a long time now and this blog is beautifully written and actually made me understand how to workout properly. The sore muscles after a workout are the worst, it honestly makes me never want to work out. I got out of it once i started visiting a body spa near me after a workout session and it helped me relax my muscles. best spa in bangalore are really helpful in soothing out the sore muscles. Also spa in bangalore have special massages like thai massage to relieve the pain. Now i honestly love working out.
