Yoga Poses That Burn More Fat

If you are looking to burn more fat with your workouts, just doing cardio and weight 
training might not get you to where you want to be. Another good option is to mix up 
your workouts and add in some yoga. Here are some of the best yoga poses for burning 
more fat and helping you to lose weight.

Down Dog Split

This yoga pose is similar to a down dog pose, but it is going to have a slight variation 
called a split. You will start the yoga pose by getting into the downward dog position, 
then move one of your legs up, which helps to open your hip at the same time. Do this 
while inhaling a breath. Then when you let out the air by exhaling, you will round your 
knee close to your nose, pulling up your leg to your abdomen. Now release it and repeat 
with the other side. Keep doing this for about 10 reps on each leg and you will burn a lot 
of fat and calories from the movements.

Plank

A simple plank is a yoga pose that packs a lot of power and is great for burning more 
fat. Planks look simple when you see other people do them until you attempt them 
yourself. It really is a full-body workout that you can do just about anywhere. A plank is 
done by getting on your hands and knees on the ground, then lifting your body with your 
hands flat on the ground and your toes resting on the ground. The rest of your body is 
lifted off the ground, from your arms down to your legs. 

Wheel

The wheel yoga pose is more of an advanced pose but will also work out your entire 
body and help you to burn more fat. You will start this pose on your back laying on your 
yoga mat, bending your knees and keeping your feet off the ground similar to starting a 
sit-up. Your elbows should be bent, with your hands on the sides of your head. Now 
start moving your hands and feet at the same time while lifting your hips. This tuck 
motion looks like an abdominal crunch, but you are focusing on your breathing the 
entire time.

Try taking a yoga class like hot yoga to burn even more calories and lose weight while 
doing the poses.
