The Benefits Of Yoga Weight Loss

By John Thomas


To lose pounds the body must take in fewer calories and burn off more fat than it consumes. A daily exercise routine is a must if seeking to burn excess fat. Yoga weight loss is one method that can aid in the journey to shed extra pounds. This form of exercise has many benefits and should be included in the exercise plan of most dieters.

While it is true that vigorous activities like running and walking will burn the most calories, any movement also accomplishes this. Typing while sitting at your desk will burn calories. You even burn calories while sleeping. The multiple poses and stretching movements that are performed during this exercise will burn fat.

This form of exercise is an excellent muscle strengthener. For those who have trouble areas like the abdomen or hips, this exercise can help build muscle in those areas. It has long been known that building muscle is one of the best ways to burn fat.

High stress levels can lead to weight gain. A stressful life increases the stress hormone cortisol. This hormone will cause the body to store fat and it also causes a sluggish metabolism. This exercise is a great way to decrease stress and thus the amount of cortisol that is released by the body. Decreased cortisol means easier shedding of pounds.

Once dieters have reached their goal, it can be difficult to maintain this new body. Often times those who struggle with excess pounds, find themselves putting the pounds back on, and unfortunately adding in a few extra. This method of exercise can help the dieter maintain the pounds that has been lost.

Yoga weight loss is a great bonus to any exercise regime. For those new to exercise it is a great introduction.
