Surya Namaskars, the workout that burns more calories than one can ever expect, is a popular millennial workout. I know how an old yoga exercise is much better than a high-intensity interval training regime. HIIT is a very well-known workout program known to burn calories in less time with more impact. We found a replacement equivalent to HIIT with the same intensity when performed in variations, faster pace, and breath according to the asanas.
Surya Namaskars, known as “The Ultimate Asana,” helps strengthen the back, toning muscles, improves metabolism, increases mental clarity, heightened intuition, a tranquil emotional state, and flexibility. Surya namaskars have no age limitations, they can be performed by anyone, be it a 5-year toddler or a 70-year-old senior.
Surya Namaskara is a great way to stretch, tone, and strengthen your muscles, core, ligaments, joints, and skeletal system. It also helps to battle insomnia. They are a great way to calm your mind, giving you better and more peaceful nights. With a cherry on top, not just improve your body, but your face as well, by preventing wrinkles and a glow in the face.
Surya namaskars are a great weight loss workout regime. One full round of Surya namaskar (12 postures/Asanas) burns 13.90 calories. If you perform 108 Surya Namaskara, it burns 1500 calories performed at a medium pace takes an hour to finish them. I can guarantee you, with personal experience, will sweat a lot more than you would expect.
Surya Namaskar targets your whole body fat because all the 12 asanas involve you to work on all the parts. To do all these postures, you don’t need to make the world-famous excuse, “I don’t go to the gym.” All you need is a yoga mat, if you don’t have a yoga mat at home, you can use a soft carpet, and you can perform them on ground.
There is no particular time to do them, though it would be effective if done during sunrise or sunset period. Remember to perform them on an empty stomach, if you eat before, make sure you wait for 2-hours at least before starting your regime, because you don’t want to throw up while doing your asanas. Remember to do the asanas correctly, unless you want injuries like strain in the neck, lower back pain, constipation, tension in the upper back, shoulder impingement.
Not just on your physical body, these poses will also focus on your mental health. The breathing pattern performed while doing the asanas followed without fail has a good impact on your brain because it relaxes all the organs and reduces the repercussions of stress, anxiety. Most Surya namaskar poses mainly require you to concentrate on the breath that makes you focus on one thing while maintaining a pose. With time, it helps you focus and concentrate. It normalizes the activity of the endocrine glands and is especially beneficial to people with thyroid problems.
The deep breathing techniques and specific postures in Surya Namaskar balances the seven chakras of the body. As a result, brain functioning improved while also increasing creativity, emotional stability, and mental capacity. Surya Namaskar has many benefits. Regularly exercising this regime you will see how you will grow as a better person.
