Winter Survival Kit: Burn Fat

Challenging large muscle groups is the key to keeping your sleek physique all season, says Charles Matkin, director of the Satsang Yoga Center in Garrison, New York, and cocreator of the Healing Yoga DVD series: "These asanas will burn more calories than those using small muscle groups." Hold each pose for 3 full minutes after you feel the burn, and then rest for a few breaths before moving to the next exercise.

Lunge
Works three trouble spots--hips, thighs, and glutes.

Stand tall with tailbone pointing down, abs pulled in. Step forward one leg's length with right leg and lower yourself into Lunge. Right thigh should be parallel to floor, back leg fully extended. Arms can be straight up or on hips. Hold, return to start, and repeat on other side.

This looks like a great workout - can't wait to try it.

I'm so lucky to have found your web site and it all started one day when I saw a yoga magazine that advertised your site (could've been your magazine; it was quite a while ago).

Keep up the great work!
