If you answered 'no', you're in the wrong place! Who wouldn't want a tight, toned body like Jen? Woman's World did an article on what keeps her toned, and do you want to know what that was?
Yoga.
I know what you're thinking, "How will Yoga help me lose weight?" Here are the top three things that Yoga helps with. :)
1. It lights metabolism on FIRE!!
Because of yoga's focus on taking the fullest, deepest breaths possible, you end up getting more oxygen into your body than with virtually any other form of exercise - and the extra oxygen is like metabolic lighter fluid. One study even found that folks who simply take deep breaths burn 140% more calories than those pedaling a stationary bike!!
2. It activates your "internal girdle"!!
Pros agree that yoga's unusual body positions and constant need for balance make it one of the few activities that effectively target our deepest abdominal muscles. As these hidden muscles become stronger, it creates a kind of suction, literally pulling your tummy in! Bonus: Yoga makes muscles flexible, and scientists say that more flexible muscles become toned more quickly.
3. It automatically makes you eat better!!
A recent study found that yoga has the amazing ability to help us eat only when hungry and to stop eating when full. Meanwhile, another study found that regular yoga workouts lead us to crave healthier food, eat more slowly and take in fewer calories overall.
So, is it worth a shot? DEFINITELY!! People have reportedly lost 20, 50, even 100 pounds doing yoga!
Jennifer Aniston's yoga trainer, Mandy Ingber, has quick little yoga lessons on YouTube for FREE!! Just go to www.youtube.com and search for Mandy Ingber Yoga. You'll find many of her free lessons there. I recommend you have a pen and paper handy, she does not do a full workout, rather she walks you through what the workout is and lets you do it yourself.
So? What are you waiting for? Give a try this week, and see how much better you feel!
Good Luck!
