Fat Blasting Yoga
Equipment Needed: Yoga mat, water for hydration, towel, Interval timer
What to Do: Watch the videos below to get a good overview of the poses and the movements before you begin. You’re going to do 2 sets of this routine.
Start with 1. Sun Salutation. After you do 13. Happy Baby Pose, jump back to the 2. Plank, and restart the routine and then complete it in its entirety. Focus on controlled breathing. If a minute hold is too easy for these exercises, add 30 seconds to increase the difficulty. Do this routine 3 times per week and alternate your starting base foot to revamp the workout.
