      No. 1: Hot Yoga

      Maximum effect: super fat burning

      If you: develop a belly due to sitting for a long time

      Hot yoga is by far the best exercise for weight loss. Compared with traditional aerobic exercise such as swimming and jogging, hot yoga can activate muscles you have never used before and achieve unexpected weight loss results. For example, the "mountain pose" with arms raised may seem simple, but it can lengthen the muscles on both sides of the body, accelerate blood circulation on the side of the body, and increase fat burning rate by 20%.

      Practicing yoga indoors at 40°C can expel toxins from the body and take away fat through sweating. However, British sports medicine experts say that the most significant effect of hot yoga is breathing weight loss: when inhaling, the diaphragm sinks and massages the abdominal viscera; when exhaling, the diaphragm moves up and massages the chest viscera. This can strengthen the function of the entire visceral system and increase the basal metabolic rate. The action of exhaling and inhaling can also exercise Abdominal muscles make you no longer have a "little belly".

      No. 2: Spinning Bike

      Maximum effect: Lose weight wherever you want

      If you: have a "bucket waist" or "dudgy legs"”

      The weight loss effect of spinning is 1.6 times that of jogging. Although a spinning bicycle also has handlebars, a seat and wheels, the whole thing is fixed on the ground. The fixed chassis allows you to concentrate your gravity on one point when pedaling. The resulting strong reverse pressure allows you to unknowingly consume more calories than riding a bicycle.

      The biggest benefit of spinning is: you can lose weight wherever you want! If you want to have slender arms, you can bend your arms at 90 degrees, hold on to the handlebars tightly, and tighten your arm muscles to make your muscle fibers slimmer. If you want to shape your calves, you can imitate the uphill movement. The thighs drive the calves to passively bear force. This can consume more calf fat without growing large muscles.
