Easy Exercise to Burn Fat

Simple Yoga Fat Burning Exercise

Today I read an interesting piece of advice regarding using simple Jumping Jacks 3 or 4 times a day to help you expend extra calories, burn fat and speed up your weight loss results.  The article suggested doing 3 sets of 100 Jumping Jacks scattered throughout the day to complement your weight loss exercise program.  It stated that you could burn an additional 60 calories a day by including this easy exercise into your day, and that each set would take just 2 minutes to do.

Yoga Poses with Pictures

Top Yoga Poses

In our busy lives, it is not always possible to do 2 hours of yoga daily.  It would be great if we all had the time for such devoted practice, and even if some of us were lucky enough to be able to accommodate such a practice, there would inevitably be phases where time would be limited and we would have to make do with a shorter practice.  Today I would like to present you with a great set, composed of many of the top yoga poses, which is ideal for meeting the needs of a quick yet complete yoga routine.

Male Sexual Enhancement

Yoga to Improve Male Sexual Fitness

Although it is not springtime, I seem to be getting a lot of emails and requests from guys looking to enhance their sexual prowess and performance in bed.  So for this month’s Learn Yoga Asana series, I thought it would be good to learn a pose which is known for improving male sexual health and virility.  This pose is Chair Yoga Pose and I am quite a fan of it myself.

Easy Yoga Poses

Simple Yoga Twists

I love the great variety of exercises and poses that yoga has to offer.  There are complex ones, most of which have reasonable modifications, and there are also simple, easy exercises which are great for beginners, seniors, kids and those looking for more moderate workouts.

These easy yoga poses should not be dismissed just because of their simplicity though.  They are still very beneficial and, if done on a regular basis, can keep you healthy and fit.  Furthermore, they are excellent exercises to use as warmups, either prior to doing more advanced routines, or prior to playing vigorous sports.

A wonderful thing about yoga workouts and poses is that they work on you at many different levels at once. Not only are they great for your physical dimension, but are also often designed to work on your emotional or mental dimensions as well.

Lumbar Back Pain

Lumbar Back Exercises

When I was in high school, I was a member of the ski club and in preparation for the upcoming ski season we would start to do a wide range of exercises to prepare the body.  Now that we are heading into winter here in the North East, and my kids are a little older, I plan to teach them skiing this winter and so have decided to revive my high school tradition of preparing for ski season.

Baby Yoga Position

Yoga to Relax the Mind

Don’t underestimate the value of Baby Pose, when it comes to your yoga practice.  A friend of mine once told me a funny story about his first yoga class.  He was a martial arts specialist and when he was invited to a yoga class by a female friend he jumped at the opportunity.  After all, he was single and yoga classes had lots of women who he thought he would be able to impress given his training in martial arts.
