Yoga For Weight Loss: Helps Both The Mind And Body And Effectively Burns Calories Faster
from:Everyone knows the benefits that one can get from practicing yoga, and these include staying healthy as well as feeling better. However, are we really aware that yoga for weight loss is an alternative worth pondering over? Not being an aerobic exercise, will yoga for weight loss is of any use to us, we might ask.
Studies Show That Yoga Helps
Recently the renowned Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center that is located in Seattle, WA conducted an investigation into the effects of yoga for weight loss and this was the pioneering study on the subject that included studying as many as, it is believed, fifteen thousand participants who were asked to remember how much they weighed and which physical activities they performed between the ages of forty-five and fifty-five. According to these studies, it was found that most people gained a pound of weight every year and those who practiced yoga for half an hour once a week for four or more years were found to have gained three pounds less than those who did not use yoga.
Though these indications are not earth shattering, they are a pointer to better things to come in the future. Regardless of the sex of a person who is overweight before starting yoga exercises, it has been found that with yoga exercises they achieved a net loss of five pounds and this compared very favorably with those who did not practice yoga, who in fact put on, it is believed, an average of fourteen pounds of weight in a period spanning ten years. If this is good news, then think about what the results would be if a person were to practice yoga for weight loss twice or thrice in a week.
So, if you are still wondering whether yoga for weight loss is practical as well as possible, the answer is most certainly that you will end up losing weight with the help of yoga exercises. In addition, yoga works on the mind as well as body and the result is a leaner as well as fitter body. Possible reasons why yoga for weight loss is effective are that it helps in burning calories much faster than is otherwise possible, and it increases a person's metabolism which in turn helps in burning up calories faster. However, some yoga exercises will burn calories faster than others; so, you would need to determine which these are and choose accordingly. In addition, when using exercises such as power yoga, you will need a strong heart and in any case you should consult your doctor for the appropriate fitness regime.
