Yoga pose that may help reduce excess fat

Hands and feet pose

The hands and feet pose is performed whilst in a standing position.

Here’s how to perform the technique

Raise your arms over your head and inhale deeply whilst doing so. Then bend your body forward until your hands reach your toes and your nose touches your knees. You should exhale slowly as you do this.

Note

Your arms should be in contact with your ears and your knees should be kept straight whilst doing this posture. The aim of this posture is ‘to bury the face between the knees while keeping the palms firmly on the ground’.

Try to hold this posture for approximately five seconds before gently raising your body back to the standing position. You should be breathing in as you do this.

This routine can be repeated four times.

Where does pose help to reduce excess fat?

This pose helps to reduce the fatty tissue of the abdomen area so if you are concerned about fat in that area, perhaps try performing this yoga pose.

Consult your doctor

Always remember to consult with your healthcare practitioner before starting any new exercise regime or making intense changes to your current one – especially if you suffer from any medical conditions and for some reason are required not to place your body or yourself under any form of stress or strain.
