Question by : Does streching/yoga help you lose weight?
Hi, i'm 20 year old thin female who's gained some weight since i left highschool so i'm getting back on my grind!

quick question is... i go running for 40 min everyday. or if it's too cold or crappy out i do wii fit jogging for 10 min, which doesn't replace 40 min but it's better than nothing. and i do wii fit aerobics. and yoga. i was wondering...since yoga is pretty much poses and breathing, if it would help me lose some weight? and also, i strech my whole body (use to be a dancer) for 10 min, does that help you lsoe weight too?

if they don't i am still going to continue i am just curious. thank you!

Best answer:
yes, all physical activity burns calories.

yoga might not burn off the pounds like jogging or swimming but it will help you keep toned and healthy, and that's more important than a number on the scale.

good luck with your goals! =)
