Beat Stress, Weigh Less: Calorie-Burning Yoga Workout

Beat Stress, Weigh Less

What do you get when you turn up the sculpting power and calorie burn of yoga classics? A superslimming workout that will transform your mind and body.

How the Workout Works

De-clutter your brain while totally trimming your abs, butt, and thighs -- these moves will slim you down and bliss you out. "You'll feel how much more toned you get with these twists, but all the zen of yoga is still there," says Kristin McGee, an instructor at YogaWorks in New York City who mixed this routine from a trio of new classes exclusively for FITNESS. Complete the circuit twice -- the first move of each pair is done at a fast tempo to rev calorie burn, the second is an allover sculptor. Pause in the starting pose of each sculptor for three deep breaths before your reps to get a steady dose of calm. Do the plan two or three times a week for your total mind-body makeover.

What you'll need: A yoga mat
