In order to lose fat, the calorie intake should be smaller than the energy burned. We need oxygen to burn fat. Unlike aerobics which causes breathlessness, YogaFit focuses on raising the heart rate to 20-30% extra, while maintaining steady breathing.
Aerobics uses energy drawn from glycogen in the liver and muscles, not body fat stores. YogaFit is ideal because it targets fat stores instead of burning sugar alone.
In general, the first 20 minutes of exercise, sugar in burned from glycogen stores.
The next 10 minutes, energy is burned from glycogen stores as well as fat stores.
Only after 30 minutes of exercise will the body burn fat.
The key ingredient to fat burning, is maintaining a longer fluid exercise period, with moderate intensity.
YogaFit is a combition of yoga flow, pilates and aerobics.
The class starts off with a sun salutation flow to boost the cardio rate. We then continue with 4 different flows, targeting different parts of the body.
1st flow targets the leg muscles
2nd flow targets the buttocks
3rd flow targets the arms
4th flow targets the abdominal muscles
