Q: Hi mike, after following your advice for the all over weight training and diet program I lost over 25 pounds and about 10 inches off my waist. So thank you. I am now at my desired weight and size but still have my lower stomach problem, I wanted to try Yoga to help me the rest of the way with toning. So my question is will Yoga help with toning as well as my lower stomach?

A: Congrats on your recent weight loss! 26 pounds and 10 inches lost is great!! That little bit of extra fat in the lower stomach is probably the most stubborn fat there and is extremely difficult to lose completely unfortunately. While Yoga is great for your overall health, well-being, and flexibility I would be surprised if it makes a big difference to fat loss, compared to traiditional cardio or resistance training. However Yoga is certainly very good for you, so by all means go for it! I would love to hear of your experience with it, especially if it helps you lose that extra bit of fat. Good luck!
