A great combination exercise

"Virabhadrasana and Skandasana which, when done together, is a great combination exercise. It is beneficial for strengthening the thigh and core muscles," the actor said.

The benefits of these asanas

Listing the immense health benefits that come with doing these asanas, Shilpa wrote that besides working on the muscles of the thighs and the abdomen, they can:

• Improve the body's balance
• Increase hip and pelvic flexibility
• Give a deep stretch to the groin, hamstrings and the adductor muscles (group of muscles present around the pelvic bone, all the way to the inner thigh and knee)
• Increase one's flexibility for more other more challenging asanas

How to perform these asanas?

1. Shilpa performed these asanas by first sitting in a squat position, with her hands joined.
2. Next, she stood up and stretched one leg back, twisting the body to the side and bending the other leg's knee.
3. The stretched leg touched the floor, while the actor continued to keep her hands joined.
4. This was followed by another stretch, in which Shilpa looked forward and assumed a squat position before proceeding to stretch out her left leg all the way.
5. She repeated all the movements, before moving on to switch the sides.

Keep in mind

Before attempting to do these asanas, make sure to do a little warm-up to allow your body to effortlessly bend and stretch, and not get injured. Make sure to do it diligently every day and watch how it begins to transform your physical and mental health and overall well-being.
