Does Yoga Work for Weight Loss?
Choosing yoga for weight loss might not seem like the most obvious idea, but it turns out low-intensity exercise can be just as effective as high-intensity exercise when it comes to shedding unwanted pounds and keeping fit and healthy.
So, if you prefer going slow, you’re in luck. “High-intensity exercise, as we know, has big benefits, especially towards fat loss,” says Nick Hewitt, personal trainer for The Training Room. “However, high-intensity exercise often includes a good level of strength and fitness to perform safely without the risk of causing injury. Low-intensity exercise reduces the likelihood of injury.”
So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to invest in one of the best yoga mats and get started on your yoga journey.
