Now, if you are ready and confirm to go for yoga then here are some tips you have to keep in mind. So let’s start and go ahead.

   1. Time for Yoga:

Morning time is good for yoga, but not fixed. You can do yoga anytime whenever you are free and you have a gap of 3 to 4 hours of your meal.

If you do yoga in the morning, then you have more benefits as you get sunlight which keeps you full and controls your hunger.

 If you do yoga in the afternoon, then you will feel relaxed of all day work.

If you do in the evening, you will feel full of energy the whole day.

If you do at night before going to bed, then you will good sleep and wakes up fresh and energetic in the morning. 

2. Drink plenty of water:

2 to 3 litres of water per day is necessary for our body. Take lemon with lukewarm water and start your day. There is a possibility that you will not be able to control your hunger in the beginning, just take lemon with normal water and add a pinch of salt/sugar for taste. You can take this drink the whole day whenever you feel hungry or every 2 hours. This will help you a lot. 

3. Try N Try:

Yes, at first you will not be able to do each and every yoga poses, it’s ok guys don’t get upset. Just practice every day and see the results in just one week. You will be doing many yoga poses except 2 or 3 with a week. 

4. Eat after 30 minutes: 

You can eat after 30 minutes of your yoga session. And again you feel hungry then have a cup of green tea or coffee but after 15 minutes.

5. Duration of yoga session:

As a beginner, you should do 30 minutes per day. In a week, you should do 150 minutes of yoga to shape your body and 200-250 minutes of yoga to lose weight. Do 4 to 5 times per week. If you do 30 minutes of yoga session on Monday-Friday and 1-hour yoga on Saturday-Sunday, you will complete 250 minutes a week. Also, you can take relaxing and stretching yoga on Sunday to relax your body.

6. Yoga session:

In your 30 minutes of yoga session take 5 minutes to boost your energy. For that, you can do 3 to 4 Surya-Namaskar (sun salutation). After that do high power yoga for 20 to 25 minutes and relax for 5 minutes doing Shavasana. Shavasana is the important part of a yoga session, if not 5 minutes possible, do it for 2 to 3 minutes.

7. Feel the move and pain:

While doing yoga poses, feel each and every move and feel the stretch. This move and stretch will be useful. You should be feeling good doing yoga. At the beginning of yoga course, your body will pain the next day but don’t let your pain keeps you away from yoga. That pain will not be of injury type. You will feel good in that pain also but don’t skip the session on that day. Don’t do high power yoga that day if you have more pain, do light and relaxing yoga.

8. Wear comfortable clothes:

You should wear comfortable clothes while doing yoga so that you can stretch your body as much you can. Your yoga session should be very comfortable with you so that you feel energetic, fresh and relaxing. 

9. Accept challenges but not compare: 

Yes, you should accept challenges to do yoga poses but don’t compare yourself with others. Our body is different from others. So we should take care of it. Comparing yourself with others can make you feel restless and yoga is all about relaxing and concentrating.

10. Do yoga with full details:

Do your yoga with one expert yoga teacher or with an online guide with full details of each pose. It will not only give you information but it will provide you knowledge of how to do and what is the reason or use of it. I had started my yoga session with the expert power yoga teacher with full use and how to do yoga asanas. Now I practice on my own every morning for at least 30 minutes daily and 1 hour on weekends with one day gap of a rest day.

I hope you guys are clear with your yoga tips. You can now start your yoga session keeping all these in mind. All the best guys. 

If you have any question coming to your mind, just feel free to ask. All good questions are welcomed.

Don’t worry guys, I was also just like you. It is common that we just decide to lose weight but don’t go through how to and where to start? I had done many things as a beginner. I know to lose weight for an instant party that you look slim for the day party. I will share all this with you. But here, in this article let me tell you about workout tips for beginners.

If you are ready to work out and serious about losing weight, then just read this article. I am sure it will help all beginners.

Read here about:-  Weight loss tips for beginners

Let’s start:- 

1. Plan your workout:

First, you need to plan your workout exercises that you are going to do on that day. I suggest you should set your goal for one month, 15 days or 1 week. As you are beginner you don’t have a habit of doing exercises so it might happen you will not be able to do some poses/exercises. But don’t get upset. Even I was not able to do many, but after 1 week, yes just one week and I was able to do every exercise except 2 or 3.

2. Take challenges:

Yes, challenge yourself. It works out because if you challenge yourself when you work out harder for completing the task and that results better. You can challenge your friends as we all always try to prove ourselves better than anyone else. And that works out more effectively. Either challenge yourself or anyone else. I started with challenging my friends and now I challenge myself every day.

3. Workout for 20-30 minutes:

As a beginner, you should workout for 20 to 30 minutes daily (4 to 5 days a week) for a practice. I suggest 5 days a week because as a beginner we are not able to work out properly. So, just start and do workout daily, you will get the habit and after some days you will be feeling restless or uncomfortable if you don’t exercise for 1 day also.

4. Time for a workout:

You can do workout anytime. As a beginner, I started my workout at evening timing at 4 PM. But keep in mind you have to do workout after 3 to 4 hours of your meal. I lost 6 to 7 Kgs by that. But I suggest if you can do it in the morning it has more benefit. Because you don’t have to remember the time of your meal. Yeah, if you cannot set your workout time in the morning just set any time for that but after 3 to 4 hours of your meal.

5. When to eat?

Eat after 30 minutes of your workout and 3 to 4 hours before your workout session. You can drink water after your session. If you drink warm or normal water with lemon & honey, it's more useful (warm water has more benefit). It is different I don’t take warm water, I prefer normal water. I drink 4 glass of warm water only in a day.

6. How to start?

Start with 5 minutes of warm-up. Then 15-20 minutes of high-intensity workout such as cardio or strength training. And end your session with 5 minutes of cool down. A cool down is important, you can skip your warm-up. I will be telling you in my next articles what workout you should do?

7. Take a 10-minute walk:

Take a 10-minute walk after every meal that means 3 sets of a 10-minute walk in a day. You can skip one set in morning breakfast. But don’t skip it at night after dinner.

8. Do your Posture perfectly:

As a beginner, you will not be able to posture perfectly but try to be perfect as much as possible by you. Your body needs 1 to 2 weeks for flexibility to do exercise or postures perfectly. Don’t lose hope if you are not able to do poses. 

9. Accept & Remove Pain:

As a beginner, on your first day of workout don’t do much, choose a light workout. Because even doing a light workout, your body will pain the next day. It is obvious, so be ready for the pain and accept it. Don’t skip your workout session because of your pain. If you want to remove body pain, you have to continue your session daily. Only 3 days your pain will remain. And this is the time you have to challenge your body and win over it. If there is more pain, just do your warm up and cool down and 5 minute light exercise but don’t skip it.

Now let’s discuss why your body pains the next day?

Your body pains, because your body does not have the habit of doing these movements. Your muscles and bones do not have the habit of movements you do in your workout session and so it will pain for 2 to 3 days.

Beginners, you have these tips with my experience. So, just go through these and don’t wait for tomorrow, start today itself guys. You will feel tired to skip it for one day. But don’t and just do your workout for 21 days to make a habit, I assure you will get a habit of this and you will feel tired whenever you skip even for one day also.

Feel free to ask question guys. I am waiting for your questions. Also, if you want to answer anyone’s question, answer it. I am waiting for a long discussion with you.

I hope this helps you to set your goal. Do plan your workout session before doing.

Weight loss tips for Beginners

Weight Loss Tips for Beginners

Who wants to lose weight just now?

Are you planning to lose weight in this new year 2019? Then you are at right place. Here, this article tells you about weight loss tips for beginners. This article will help you lose weight because these tips are of my own experience. 

If you are serious about weight loss, then go ahead.

Here are some tips that you should keep in mind if you are planning to start losing weight:-

So, let’s start with our tips:

1. Don’t starve yourself:

Don’t starve yourself. Now, the question arises why you should not starve? The reason is when you think of starving, your mind thinks that your body will not get the number of calories that is needed. And then whatever you eat, the body will fight to keep calories saved and that will be stored which will result in low metabolism (almost shut down) and stored fat. Your body gets into “starvation-protection” mode.

2. Eat in small portions:

Divide your 3 meals into 6 meals. If you divide your 3 meals portion into 6 meals and eat a small amount of portion and eat in every 3 hours, it boosts your metabolism rate, controls blood-sugar and starves off hunger and keeps you fill. But keep in mind eating in a small amount, don’t exceed the meal or overeat. Don’t eat when you are not hungry.

3. Do 20 minutes of yoga/workout:

If you are a beginner, then you start with 15 to 20 minutes of workout or yoga. I prefer yoga as it stretches my whole body and our body becomes more flexible. Also, yoga has many benefits other than losing weight. A workout is also good for our body and I have started losing weight via workout but now I prefer yoga. Or if you don’t like to do workout or yoga just go for 20 to 30 minutes of walking with your earphones/music or with your friend but don’t talk too much. You can do anytime but if possible do in the morning.

4. Start your day with water:

Yes, start your day with water. You can take normal water also but if possible prefer warm water. Also, you can add lemon & honey or cinnamon & honey or Cumin-seeds (full night kept in water) with lemon. Water helps you cleaning the body.

5. What to do when hungry?

If you have the habit of overeating and get hungry then to control your hunger just take water with lemon and add a pinch of salt/sugar for taste every 2 hours. This will control your hunger & you will not get cravings to eat varieties. If you are a student/employee take this drink in your bottle and drink it whenever thirsty. 

6. Take some sunlight :

you should take some sunlight if you want. This will give you vitamin-D and this will control your hunger. This is not needed if you are doing morning yoga or workout because that will also boost your metabolism and control your hunger.

7. Keep Track of your activities:

Yes, keep track of you activities-diet & exercise, calories per day. You should complete 200 - 250 minutes of workout per week for losing weight. If you to just stay fit, then complete 150 minutes of exercises per week.

8. Avoid high calorie foods:

Avoid some food which contains high calories such as cold-drinks, packet food, oily foods, junk food. Eat healthy food if possible. You can eat fruits, salads. 

9. Beverages:

If you are addicted to tea or coffee 2 times a day. Just cut off to one time. I suggest don’t drink tea at all. Coffee one time a day is allowable but if possible don’t drink or drink it without milk. Drink green tea.

I hope these tips help you and if you follow these, I am sure you will start losing weight.
