Why yoga is better than jogging for burning off calories
So how can something as “easy” and relaxing as yoga do such amazing things for your body? It’s because while you can do yoga and not work up much of a sweat, it doesn’t mean you’re not working your body hard.
Are these yoga myths keeping you from getting into your best shape ever?
Myth #1: You have to do vigorous, grueling exercise to burn calories.
TRUTH: You can burn just as many calories (and even more fat) by doing yoga alone. When you do a series of yoga moves together, your body gets a great workout without wreaking havoc with your joints or leaving you out of breath. And you can burn just as many calories as jogging!
Myth #2: Yoga can’t help you lose weight.
TRUTH: Yoga can help you lose weight. Research proves people who do yoga weigh 19 pounds less on average. This could be because yoga lowers cortisol levels so you’re less likely to overeat or snack. Plus yoga is a great way to burn fat and calories (see myth #1)!
Myth #3: “No pain, no gain” is the rule when it comes to building muscle.
TRUTH: With yoga, you don’t have to lift weights because you lift your own body weight in many poses. This helps sculpt and tone your muscles while being gentle on your body. Plus the more muscle you build, the more you boost your metabolism… so you burn even more fat and calories!
