Among the different methods to achieve a flat stomach, there's one that has been gaining ground over the last years, and now it stays as a permanent routine on thousands of gyms around the World: Yoga. But Yoga for abs is nothing new; many people in the western world are discovering how it can have a positive impact in their lives.
Yoga relies on poses, and these Yoga poses that we are talking about will strengthen your abs in a way you thought it was impossible. On the other side, is good to note, that any change must be integral - that means that if you really want to see results you'll also have to work your way to reduce excess fat (cardio and a great diet with stable sugar levels are critical components for success).
What are the great poses on yoga for abs?
The Bow Pose. Lie flat on your stomach and grab your ankles with both arms while lifting at the same time your head. You should end up resting on your stomach. NOTE: This is great also for chronic constipation!
The Peacock Pose. In this pose you'll need to balance your abdomen on your co joined elbows while at the same time raising your legs. This is a hard pose that you may not achieve at first, but still will do wonders for your abs.
Sun Salutations This a pose combo. I tried to do these and at first found it very challenging.
That's the thing with yoga, you may think it's easy but it's not! Sun salutations have also a spiritual importance in yoga, and like I said it involves motions, backward and forward motions. Sun salutations are a great way to begin your yoga fro stomach workout.
Cat Cow stretch This exercise will stretch your abdominals, allowing them to grow. Stretching is also a way to strengthen your muscles. To do this, come on all fours and bend your spine on both ways, like a cat.
Although most people perceive these exercises as useless, I challenge you to just try them. You'll see how good they are! And we are talking about just yoga for abs here, in the end you'll find yoga has solutions for very part of your body. Good luck getting that tight stomach!
