Can Yoga Really Make You Sweat?
Can you really use yoga to lose weight?
Yes.
Should you?
Well, that depends.
It depends on your fitness level, health restrictions, and goals.
If your primary goal is weight loss then there may be better forms of fitness that you can pursue. By better, we mean more efficient.
Yoga does not burn as many calories per hour as many other types of popular exercise options, including running, weight lifting, or biking.
Weight loss is a direct function of a calorie deficit. To maximize weight loss, you’ll need to use yoga alongside other types of exercises.
Yoga can help you get the most of your other workouts by increasing your power, stamina, and cardiovascular ability, and by keeping you refreshed for each workout so that you can push yourself harder – all of which helps with weight loss.
But can you just do yoga for weight loss?
If your goal is weight loss, then that is what we recommend: combine yoga with other types of exercises for maximum results.
But there are a few situations when yoga can be useful as your only workout for weight loss.
