Exercise

At home Work on your entire body. If you are running on the treadmill at the gym, try strengthening exercises combined with cardio at home. Try this 20 minute workout that focuses on glutes and abs and involves high intensity interval training.

Yoga There are several asanas that are ideal for weight loss. Perform the Vinayasa flow which involves a series of movements that aid weight loss. The asana also tones your arms and strengthens your core muscles.

Gym The balancing act works great for strengthening core and ab muscles. Try using the Bosu ball while performing some of your exercises. This way, you will be targeting multiple muscles at one time. If you haven t used Bosu ball before, take the help of your trainer.

Sleep well tip There is nothing better than a good champi or oil massage before bed to relax. The head massage also helps you sleep better. So do a quick champi yourself or get someone to do it for you.
