Regular exercise and ability to do heavy physical activity whenever required wasn’t enough to keep away that excess fat around my belly. My diet is moderately regulated, but sometimes it just goes berserk, chocolates and sweets are my greatest adversaries when it comes to losing weight. A hundred times I had tried dieting and failed. It’s not that dieting never worked, but the thing was I had such great expectations, that I was stubborn to have it all or nothing. So whenever I hit a plateau I just quit. Recently it became so worse that I just quit the effort of keeping my weight under check. And as expected this had a dire effect. With weeks and months passing by my weight kept on mounting. The weight that fluctuated between 68-70kg, was now 73 and it didn’t feel right. 

From improving your posture, strengthening muscles to whittling extra inches around the waist, the benefits of Suryanamaskar are many, provided you adapt it the right way. A set of 12 fixed, cyclic postures define Suryanamaskar which when performed repeatedly at an easy pace can bring a sense of wellbeing, almost immediately. However, those with a heart condition, arthritis or slip-disk, need their doctor’s consent before starting the routine. If you have been gravely out of form in a way that you haven’t stretched your muscles in ages, first give your body some time to open up, which you can do with some flexibility and stamina-building exercises before embarking on the more arduous ‘Suryanamaskar’.
