Yoga for Overweight

Updated on January 9, 2010

Women would love to have sexy bodies such as the likes of Jennifer Lopez. This, however, requires a lot of effort on their part because women have higher tendencies to become obese.

As proven by research conducted by Chicago scientists, women are indeed more prone to obesity than men, thus posing a great challenge for all females out there.

According to the said research, possible causes for obesity among women are the lifestyle that they have acquired as well as the status that they have in society.

In support of this conclusion, the data gathered from a study conducted in a town in South Africa, have shown two possible factors for obesity.

One is that females who have been deprived of the proper bodily nutrition are prone to being obese. Another is that those who belong in higher social classes tend to have a sedentary lifestyle, hence the low levels of physical activity as well as slower metabolism.

These health studies, however, would like to send out the message that overweight women should not lose hope or fear helplessness for there are solutions to their current condition.

Such a solution is yoga for overweight women and following are ways on how one could incorporate it in her day to day life.

Yoga should be done with an experienced instructor, especially for those who are doing it for the first time.

The yoga instructor should facilitate your program by helping you identify your fitness goals and showing you the steps in order to achieve these.

One should start by learning the basics of yoga from the instructor. This entails knowing the correct breathing and posture, such as what is done in Hatha yoga classes that specifically aim to improve the body’s circulation through its stretching and breathing.

These methods improve one’s overall well-being as it allows them to be relieved of stress and fatigue.

Moreover, yoga for overweight enables the body to effectively burn fat through certain postures and stretching techniques.

Some examples would be certain poses on the abdomen that actually facilitate digestion or those that assist the pancreas with its hormone excretion function.

Other than improving one’s health and well-being, yoga also helps one attain a more attractive and beautiful physique. Poses learned in yoga for overweight classes improve one’s posture and straightens the muscles thereby helping to achieve a better and firmer figure.

By consistently attending yoga classes or doing it during your spare time, you should be able to achieve your fitness goals in less time.

Yoga is favored by many not just for its physical and health rewards but also for the wellness in the mind and spirit that one experiences with it.

One can truly say that yoga allows an overall well-being for it teaches a better, more positive and serene way of looking and living one’s life. This mindset helps one to live a life free of stress, and with a more outgoing and confident outlook.

With such a beneficial and rewarding regimen, what more could one ask for? Certainly, yoga has proven itself to be a great weight loss solution for overweight women. Just like Wulong Slimming Tea.
