8 tips to spring into that summer body (slideshow)
7. Burn fat with a yoga mat
No, I haven’t lost my marbles. Yoga is not notoriously a big calorie burner. Yet, it can be a big boost in your ability to burn fat by reducing cortisol. No, you don’t need to go into a heated room and start dripping sweat before you even down dog to get results. Just mindful breathing in and breathing out can help.
If you’re an emotional eater (aka, have a heart rate), it might be especially helpful for you to start a yoga practice that happens right before your evening meal. A few minutes can make a big difference.
The simple awareness yoga gives you of your body may be to thank for slowing you down when you eat. Whether you’re on the floor in a restoration yoga pose feeling your belly rise and fall with the breath, or doing a more vigorous flow actually using your core to move pose to pose, both are equally effective at bringing you into the moment. When you sit down at the table with mindfulness you’re more likely to make good decisions to get that summer body.
