Ashtanga Yoga: Get Fit,
Burn Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning
Combined
Ashtanga Yoga workouts are
a great way to boost fitness and burn stored fat/body fat. Ashtanga Yoga
increases the number of calories burned, and - if combined with a calorie-controlled
eating plan - will cause the body to burn fat-tissue - including stomach
fat. In addition, Ashtanga Yoga helps to develop the back and stomach
muscles, so you improve fitness and get into shape.
Ashtanga Yoga Improves
Fat Percentage
About 45 minutes of Ashtanga
Yoga burns about 360 calories. In one year, this daily exercise workout
burns a total of 131,400 calories per year - about 38 pounds of stored
body fat. This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percent - the muscle-to-fat
ratio.

Health Benefits
Because it helps to burn
body-fat, a regular fitness workout (like Ashtanga Yoga) contributes to
improved health in several ways. It helps reduce abdominal fat, associated
with serious illness; it assists weight control, thus maintaining healthy
cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Finally, it releases endorphins
the happiness chemicals that improve mood. These health benefits are further
increased by a healthy eating-plan.
