But, there is an tried and tested system of exercises that has a thousand-year experience. It's about the physical and psychological culture of yoga. Are you interested? Then it is worth to learn a few exercises (asanas), which are recommended for those who want to lose weight. But first it is worth recalling the three "golden" rules of yoga:
- Moderation in everything.
- Regularity.
- The transition from simple to complex.
If you are ready to adhere to these rules, and every day to do at least three asanas four times a day, then you will achieve success. The length of the exercise period depends on how many pounds you want to lose weight. But remember that the loss of body weight should not exceed 450 - 600 grams. in Week. This condition is very important. With such a gradual loss of weight, the skin will not be flabby.
I suggest rather easy asanas, which contribute not only to weight reduction, but also to the normalization of metabolism and bioenergetics of the body.
And that's still very important: during the exercises mentally focus on the actions and result that you are trying to achieve. Imagine yourself slender, flexible, help the body with their thoughts aimed at achieving the ideal of harmony and beauty.
