Yoga’s popularity is growing worldwide, but people are not fully aware of its numerous benefits, the most notable of which is weight loss. There are many asanas that burn more calories than intense workouts. They tone your body while also assisting you in losing weight.
Here are 10 asanas that you may do anywhere, at any time, to help you reduce weight:
Triangle pose (Trikonasana)
Maintain your feet wide apart and your hands parallel to the ground. Lean to your left and create as much touch as possible with your left hand. Maintain this position 10-15 seconds before moving to the other side. Asana’s spinning and twisting action promotes gastrointestinal efficiency and helps reduce belly fat accumulation. The posture is most suitable for leg and arm muscles, facilitating the creation of new muscle tissue.
Warrior pose II (Virbhadrasana)
Slowly straighten your legs to make you more upright. Place the rear leg heels on the ground, ensuring the knees don’t move too far from their initial posture. Holding your body balance in this position, strive to shift your upper body sideways. Both hands must be on each side. Keep this stance for at least five breaths before swapping and repeating the process. With each sharp breath intake, you’ll notice increased concentration and blood circulation in your respiratory system.
Upwards Dog
Lie on your stomach with your arms spreading forth and palms facing forward. Elevate your torso and look upwards, keeping your hands beneath your shoulders. Make sure your abdomen and lower body are flat on the ground. Stay 10 seconds, repeat.
Chair pose
Position yourself in a horizontal line, with your feet firmly gripped and your arms by your sides. Following that, raise your arms aloft so that both palms face each other and gently bend your knees to your chest, as you would in a squatting position. Your thigh and bottoms should be parallel to the ground. Hold for 15 seconds and then repeat.
Boat pose
Lie down on your back and place your hands beside it. Gradually lift your upper body and legs such that your arms and legs form a V shape. With your hands, maintain a horizontal line parallel to the ground. Maintain this pose for 10 seconds and repeat.
Bow pose (Dhanurasana)
First, position yourself flat on your stomach as you start to gradually elevate your core muscles, as you would in snake posture, ensure that both legs are raised simultaneously. Maintain the stance for as long as it is comfortable by firmly clasping both legs with both hands.
Bridge pose (Setu bandha Sarvangasana)
Lie on your back, with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Elevate your buttocks and spine off the mat while maintaining a solid grip on your heels. Intertwine your index and middle fingers by placing your palms beneath your hips. Strengthening your lower body and back will require the usage of your glutes, hamstrings, and tummy. Releasing your fingers, slowly lower the spine to the ground. Relax and repeat.
