Yoga has a long list of health benefits. It can help to improve your flexibility, has meditative qualities and engages a wide range of muscles. But does it burn calories? To intensify your practice, add pushups to your flow. Instead of going from a plank to chaturanga to upward facing dog, take a pause on your knees. Then, do five modified pushups before coming back up into plank and into chaturanga.
You can burn up to 50 additional calories if you do this 10 times in a class. Plus, you're adding a bit of strength-training to the routine. Follow the link to see more yoga calorie-burning tips. |
