Experts believe that we should view the effects of yoga on weight loss dialectically.
Compared to intense aerobic exercise, the speed of weight loss through yoga is indeed slower, as it burns relatively fewer calories; however, a slow weight loss does not equate to ineffectiveness. Moreover, the advantage of slow weight loss is that even if practice is suddenly interrupted, the rebound speed is also slow, which is something that aerobic exercise cannot achieve. According to feedback surveys, 60% of those who practice yoga report achieving weight loss results.
Aerobic fitness exercises are high in intensity and can strengthen muscle training, leading to rapid weight loss, but they are not suitable for older individuals. In contrast, yoga is suitable for people of all ages; in addition to weight loss, it can also mentally change one’s attitude towards life, thereby enhancing vitality.
