Lose Weight with Yoga
How much can yoga really do for you? A lot. Cyndi Lee, founder of OM Yoga in New York City, has designed a total-body routine that is a mind and body booster. The workout is built around the classic sun salutation series, with challenging core and upper- and lower-body variations added for a fat-blasting twist. Do the entire sequence four to five times through (keep at it for an hour) and you'll burn off the calorie equivalent of a banana split while sculpting your arms, chest, abs, butt, and legs and improving your flexibility.
How it works: Start and finish each circuit with a sun salutation, a four-move series done forward and in reverse that is the foundation of the workout. Every time you do this main series, you'll add a challenging variation to keep your heart rate elevated while toning your whole body. Each sun salutation, plus all of our variations, should take about 15 minutes.
this routine really does work I do this 4x a wk mornings and feel and look great all day. of course sensible eating and water are important too
3/15/2010 08:01:11 AM Report AbuseThanks for all of the great information about Yoga and how to lose 500 calories. Losing calories is vital in an everyday diet, especially if you are burning the calories off by exercising and doing basic chores around the house. I have been using a site called www.FitClick.com, this site provides a calorie burned calculator that can count how many calories burned walking, running, biking, etc. Head on over and try it out!

1/27/2010 09:10:03 AM Report AbuseI've been praciting yoga for 2yrs day for 30-45 mintues. You'd be surprised the effectiveness of the exercise and the sculpting that it does. It can burn that many calories, but your diet and water itake are a part of that. You cannot eat 500 calories and instantely do Yoga, it should be done in the early AM and on an empty stomach. Power Yoga is the best for buring calories, it follows what is called " Vinyassa " or a squence of movements without stopping. Try it!
