Workout and weight loss on wheels- physical activity & yoga

At least 1/3 of the weight loss equation is just being active. This can be a simple 30 minutes of activity that you actually do without thinking. For example going up and downstairs to get things from your basement or the bedrooms, running the vacuum cleaner or cleaning the bathroom all count. Of course they do not burn as many calories as do rock climbing (500-700),cycling (700) running (700) rollerblading (500), playing basketball (288), swimming (360), or tennis (300). But all that's required is doing something regularly. Yoga is a good physical activity for people who have physical challenges. It is based on body poses and deep breathing Although it does not burn quite as many calories as using the nautilus it does take off extra pounds. Yoga gives that bind-body connection so if you want to change you lifestyle, how you think about food, and destructive eating patterns, yoga will help by increasing awareness.
