10 Yoga Poses for Weight Loss #loseweightfast
10 Yoga Poses for Weight Loss 9 #loseweightfast
1. Warrior I
Try to put your front knee at a 90 Degrees angle, but if you’re a beginner, your stance may be slightly above 90 Degrees, which is okay. And as you progress, you can then make it a complete 90 Degrees.
Your back foot should be pointed outwards in a straight line like the picture above.
This is a great yoga pose for weight loss as it helps to tone and strengthen the muscles on your arms, back, thigh and shoulder.
Hold this pose for about 30 seconds and transition to Warrior II. Note that if you start to shake it means it is working.
You can hold the pose longer if you want fast results.
Repeat this pose for the other side of your body.
2. Warrior II
The difference between this pose and Warrior I is that you bring your arms to your side, outstretched.
Also, make sure your chest and lower torso faces the same direction as your back foot.
Your front knee should still be in its 90 Degree angle.
Try to hold this position for 30 seconds or more depending on your endurance level. But it must be at least 30 seconds.
Whenever I perform this particular pose, I usually feel burning sensations under my arms, under my front foot thigh and behind my back foot.
This obviously means something is going on and that the pose is working. The calories and fat is burning away.
Do this for the other side.
3. Warrior III
With this pose, you’ll have to maintain balance in your legs, back and core muscles while holding this pose.
It may look like an easy pose to make, but for beginners this can be a very hard position to hold for a few seconds.
Honestly…..
I have never tried this position until just now, I wasn’t sure of how I would explain it to you so I decided to try the pose myself and here’s the easiest way I noticed you can do it.
Stand straight on your two legs, bend forwards 90 Degrees and stretch your arms in front of you. Make sure the arms are straight.
Then raise one of your legs backwards to be on the same level with your outstretched arms.
Keep this position for at least 30 seconds and repeat with the other side of your body.
4. Boat Pose
This particular pose works directly with your stomach, helping you lose weight in your belly.
You’ll notice that your ab muscles are working hard when you hold this pose for some time.
This pose requires that you have strong abs so you can keep yourself up; so as you try it regularly your abs will become stronger and sexier.
Sit down on your yoga mat, raise your legs as high as you can, don’t over-strain yourself… yoga is supposed to be relaxing… then raise your hands to try and touch your toes while in the air.
Hold that position for 30 seconds or more depending on your level of endurance.
You will begin to feel your stomach burn and you may also begin to shake. Remember, shaking during yoga is okay as it means your body is working to burn the fat. In this case, your stomach fat is burning.

5. The half boat
This pose is just like the boat pose with one small change. Instead of raising your legs and arms like in the boat position, you bend your knees to a 90 Degree angle, and then stretch your arms also to act as if you want to touch your toes, like in the boat position.
Note: In all of these yoga poses, make sure your feet is outstretched like in the image to your left. Also, invest in good yoga outfits, especially the yoga pants, for comfort.
Don’t forget to point out your toes.
Keep your spine straight and hold the position for 30 seconds or more.
Also, remember to breathe well as you do this.
6. The Chair Pose
To perform this position, you “sit” down on an imaginary chair, raise your arms straight above your head, inhale as you do so and keep the position for at least 3o seconds. In time you will begin to feel the burning sensation in your calves and hamstrings.
Be sure that you can still see your feet in front of your knees, if you can’t, you’ve bent too far; but still, you can bend as far as you want for maximum results.
Tuck your hips slightly in and don’t over arch your back.
Hold for 30 seconds or more.
7. Wide-Legged Forward Bend
Stand straight, stretch your feet 3 or 4 feet apart, bend forward and hold your ankles.
This particular pose is one we do all the time on the field as it also helps in flexibility.
(I’m not sure they know it’s a yoga pose).
You have to try and bend all the way forward like the image on your left and make sure your back is straight, try not to hunch your back.
You will feel a stretch on your hamstrings (at the back of your legs), this means you’re doing it correctly.
Hold for 30 seconds at least, or more if you’re feeling like challenging yourself.
8. Downward Dog
As you perform this pose, you will feel a stretch on your hamstrings and calves which means its burning calories in your body.
It’s a little like the wide-legged forward bend but in this particular pose, instead of holding your ankles; you place your hands in front of you.
Stretch your legs 3-4 feet apart, bend at the hips until your hands touch the floor, now extend your hands to the front some more to get a good upside-down V-Shaped form.
9. Upward Dog/Cobra
This pose can also be called “the Cobra”, I prefer to call it “Cobra” because of the stance.
Take a quick look at the downward dog and see how you can transition to the cobra pose.
As you are in the cobra position, leave your hands where they are, and stretch your legs backwards to make it lie parallel to the floor, now try to make the upper part of your body stand up straight. Hold the position.
This pose stretches your body and belly very well for weight loss in those regions.
Don’t forget to keep your toes out-stretched and breathe through the pose.
10. Plank
You should make sure your body is in a straight line.
This pose has always been the toughest for me for as long as I can remember.
I never appear to most likely hold it for a moment before my entire body starts to shake.
Be that as it may, the manner in which I do it, rather than utilizing my palms to hold myself up, I utilize my elbows.
Don't assume this posture is anything but difficult to do, I realize it looks simple however it's definitely not. Or on the other hand, possibly it's simply me.
Do this posture and endeavor to hold it for 30 seconds or more.
Incidentally, in the event that you can complete one moment without shaking, let me know in the remark area on how you did it, what exceptional strategy you attempted in light of the fact that I am resolved to beat this posture.
