People no longer walk for hours in pursuit of their daily affairs. All you have to do is start your vehicle and off you go. The standards of food have also deteriorated. There is a lot of junk food available which science proves is very unhygienic for bodily health. Children prefer video games to outdoor sports. These and many more factors such as mental stress, irregular food timings, excess in-take of junk food, and a total lack of exercise, all contribute to gain in body weight, and sadly enough, a large number of people today face obesity. Extra layers of fat look equally unattractive, whether you have them in your waist or hips. Yoga offers very useful exercises to keep your body in a superb shape, besides helping in reducing mental stress. People of all ages can practice yoga. Owing to the multi-purpose benefits of Yoga, more and more people are taking up this Indian discipline. Contrary to fast, risky modes of weight reduction that are not without side-effects, yoga tones your body gradually, and various yoga practices are very effective for different body parts. How to Reduce Fat in Hips by Yoga
Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon pose) is a Yoga asana that benefits the hips and is very effective in toning your hip muscles. Here is how it is performed: - Step one foot backwards, and point the other forward.
- Open the hip after moving the back foot outwards.
- Bend your front leg, and place your hand on the yoga mat.
- Initially, place it diagonally out for the simpler pose. As you practice more, place it directly in front of the foot. This will be a bit challenging, but more effective.
- Rotate the elevated hip to open it. Practice aligning the hips in a vertical position. This will get you flexible groins and hamstrings.
Besides the Half Moon, other poses that should be practiced for hips include:
The Balancing Stick pose: This will strengthen your buttocks, hips, thighs, and arms. It also improves the blood circulation and flexibility of the body.
The Triangle pose: This asana exercises every muscle of your body. It is effective in toning the hips, thighs, arms and waist.
Other recommended poses include the Camel pose and the Tree pose. Yoga will get your hips as well as other parts of body in an excellent shape. Just be regular, and you will see the difference yourself.
