3 Workouts for Yoga Weight Loss: A Beginners Guide

Yoga allows your body to be free from stress physically; this soundtrack will help you reach a state of mental tranquility.

Alleviate your Mind and Your Lower Spine

Before working out, warming up and stretching can help you have an effective workout. Let’s begin with an easy stretch. A long day sitting at your office chair answering emails, not moving for hours until lunch, and constantly twisting can cause tense stress in your lower back. When your lower back is in distress, it can be tough to do anything and affect your sleeping schedule. That is why it is imperative to stay active daily by stretching your muscles to release tension and drinking plenty of water to keep your muscles hydrated. An easy and effective stretch to alleviate your lower spine is performing a child’s pose. It will release pressure and help give you a nice back extension. Make sure to hold the position for 1-2 minutes, taking deep and controlled breaths.

Our very own YogaByMaggie is here below as she demonstrates the child’s pose. Make sure to check her out for more guides and tutorials!

Yoga Pose Your Way Into a Healthier Lifestyle With This Fat Burning Pose 

What if we told you there is an intense high-calorie burning workout that requires no high-impact movement, no additional equipment, but only needs your body? It’s planking! You may think we are lying, but planking is a very effective workout that requires full body tension while in the pose. Therefore, it’s attacking all muscle groups from your core, back, and legs, pushing your body to its limits as you try to plank for more than a minute.

Warriors Don’t Just Run Into Battle, They Stretch Before

The Warrior Pose is next on the list due to its similar benefits to planking. This vertical workout improves balance by forcing your body to maintain a lounging position while staying on the balls of your feet. The longer you hold the workout position, the greater the benefit. This workout is similar to planking as it involves your entire body being in tension, but it highly focuses on toning your hamstrings, quads, and arms.

Geometry Isn’t The Only Thing Getting Into Shape

Who would have thought that geometry could help you burn fat? Well, we did. Our final exercise is known as the triangle pose. This lateral motion involves total body balance through a three-point stance, engaging your entire body. Once you’re holding the position in a stable state, you’ll feel you’re core tightening. This yoga pose will perpetuate blood circulation throughout the entire body and improve overall balance. 

Overall, you will feel more in control of your body with these movements resulting in less daily stress, weight loss, and improved sleeping patterns. They require no equipment to do these exercises, but we can provide you with a clean portable yoga mat. This mat will allow you to do these exercises anywhere from home, in the office, or at your local park.
