Spot weight reduction like losing weight at a particular spot like arms or thighs is only possible and more seen when you lose your overall fat or weight.

  • Butterfly pose – sit on a yoga mat or on the floor in sukhasana. Bend both knees and with the help of your hands bring both the soles of the feet together. Place then under the crotch area and hold them with interlaced paws for stability. Keep the spine and neck straight and do not raise your heel. Breathe in. Rest your elbows on thighs and without using any pressure of elbows press both the thighs down. While exhaling raise both the knees upwards and repeat this motion 15-20 times.

Remain in this pose for 15 seconds and then repeat the same pose using right leg. Both the legs can also be lifted together after you complete individual legs 5 times each. A pressure should be maintained on the abdomen using the left/right thigh and knee.
