New Delhi: Due to the sedentary lifestyles that we lead, there is a serious lack of physical activity in our daily routines. We also spend a large part of the day sitting, and this is why we tend to pile on extra fat in the hips and thighs. If this is causing you stress, worry not. Here are a few basic yoga asanas to help you reduce weight from your hips and thighs. Make sure that you practice them regularly and also combine this with a healthy diet to address the heaviness in these problem areas. With these asanas, you can stimulate your leg muscles, especially the hips and thighs. Asanas such as Utkatasana or chair pose, squats, the balancing pose, and even Samasthithi allow your muscles to be exerted. Your body weight rests upon your legs, especially on the muscles of the hips and thighs. This not only tones your legs and builds muscle but strengthens the area too.
