There is a total-body routine that's a mind and body booster and will help you burn calories The exercises includes challenging core and upper- and lower-body work added for a calorie burning twist. Do the series 4 or 5 times but no more than an hour.
How it works: begin and finish each set of yoga exercises in your general routine with the following extras. Each time you do this series, you'll add a challenging variant to keep your pulse rate elevated while toning your whole body.
Stand tall with feet in alignment and together, shoulders at ease, weight evenly administered through your soles, arms at sides. Take in a deep breath and lift your hands overhead, palms facing one another with arms straight. Reach up towards the sky with your fingertips.
From the mountain pose, breathe out, swinging your arms sideways as you swan dive forward, bending at hips, till fingertips or palms touch the ground on either side of your feet; keep your fingers in line with your toes. (If your hamstrings or back are feeling over stretched, bend your knees.) Think of pulling the crown of your head down and the backs of your legs towards the sky.
From the standing forward bend, keep your feet together and place fingertips on the ground near the outer edges of your feet, in line with your toes. Breathe in as you lift your trunk halfway up, keeping your back flat. Look forward, stretching your tailbone away from the top of
your head. If you feel over stretched in your hamstrings or lower back or can't touch the ground, bend your knees and position your hands on your shins.
From forward bend with flat back, bend your knees, place your palms flat on the ground shoulder-width apart, and jump backwards with both feet back, landing lightly in downward dog. Spread your fingers and make certain your feet are hip-width apart and parallel. Stretch your tailbone up and away from your hands and your heels towards the ground.
Bring your legs towards your hands and straighten your legs, returning to the forward bend with flat back. Drop your head and return to the standing forward bend, then to the mountain pose, sweeping the arms out to the sides and overhead to finish the main series.
Every time you finish this workout, add on a fresh challenge series till you've incorporated all the moves. Every full sequence will take about 15 minutes.
