Yoga for reducing chest fat? These yoga asanas can help
A fatty chest is no less than a nightmare, especially for men. And if you can relate, you know how eagerly you want to get rid of those flabby fat deposits from your chest. While losing a few extra kilos may help, you can include some easy yoga asanas in your daily practice for better results. Check out five of them below.
Bhujangasana
Begin by lying on the floor with your face down. Place your palms next to your shoulders. Slowly inhale as you stretch your legs and then lift your upper body. Ensure that your toes and pubis form a straight line and touch the floor. Hold this pose for 30 seconds and release. Doing this pose can tighten your pectoral muscles and expand your chest.
Virabhadrasana
Stand with your left leg back and its toes pointing outward. Raise your right arm forward and left arm backward. Ensure that they are parallel. Bend your right knee until it's directly over your ankle. Balance your body, elongate your spine, broaden your chest, and focus on the fingers of your right arm. This pose works wonders for building muscles in the chest area.
Purvottanasana
Begin by sitting with your legs stretched frontward. Place your hands behind your hips and palms facing downward. The next step is to lift your hips off the floor by balancing on your hands and feet. Ensure that you form a straight line from head to toe. Look upward and hold for 30 seconds. It helps in toning your chest and shoulders.
Dhanurasana
This yoga pose reduces chest fat. Lie down on your belly and keep your legs parallel and distant from each other. Now bend your knees and bring your feet up in the air. As you do that, hold your ankles with your hands and ensure a firm grip. Stretch your limbs as wide as possible, look up, and hold for a few seconds.
Bakasana
Sit in a low squat position with your hands in the front on the ground. Pressing your palms, lift your upper body in the air. You can push your knees or thighs toward your chest while you are at it. Elongate your lower back upward as much as possible and feel the stretch around your chest, shoulders, and hips. Hold for a few seconds.
