Do you required to work 9 hours at the office? Do you normally sit bent over? Do workplace chairs cause your hips and back to bend awkwardly? If your answer is ‘yes’ to any of these questions, your hips are most likely suffering the weight of your poor posture and behaviours. As a result, you may have pain, stiffness, muscular strain and tightness. Thick fat also develops on them, affecting the overall shape of the body.
Here are 4 yoga asanas to reduce stubborn thigh and hip fat
1. Utkatasana
Another name for utkatasana is the chair pose. This pose works the leg muscles, particularly the thighs and hips. It’s simple to sit on a chair, but when one sits on an imagined chair, their muscles have to work harder to support their body. The body’s weight is mostly carried by the legs, especially the thighs and hips muscles. This strengthens and tones the legs while also helping in weight loss.
2. Natarajasana
The hip flexors are triggered and stretched in this beautiful pose. Exercise is done on the inner and outer thigh muscles. The pose improves the legs as the person balances on one leg. From your pelvis to your feet, every muscle in your leg is stretched and toned.
3. Upavistha Konasana
This pose is excellent for strengthening the back of your legs. It offers the neglected inner thighs a good stretch in addition to working on them. It is perfectly targeted to the needs of females while also increasing strength and flexibility.
4. Malasana
The Malasana is another pose that emphasizes the legs mainly, especially the hips and thighs. It ensures that your thighs and hips are properly stretched and enhances blood flow. This causes your hips to expand and your leg muscles to become more strong and flexible.
