The ideal back has a 'V' shape - strong, broad
shoulders, tapering down to a trim waistline. For this,
you need to concentrate on building up the latissimus
dorsi, the rhomboids and the trapezius muscles. When
you're performing back-strengthening exercises, try and
keep your back straight, and your abdominal muscles
pulled in. This gives you a firm central 'core' to work
with. |

You're Making Progress
As long as you're taking consistent, positive action,
you're making progress. At times, it may seem that
you're going backwards. At times, it will be frustrating
when the results don't come as quickly as you had hoped.
Still, you are making progress.
Achievement is a process, not a single event. To achieve
any goal, you must cover a lot of ground. You need to
learn what works, and what does not work. You must
explore possibilities, many of which will not turn out
to be feasible. Still, with every action you're making
progress. Even the setbacks are necessary stepping
stones on the path to success.
Keep up the good work. Keep up the effort. You're well
on your way by now. With every moment, you get closer.
With every effort, you make progress, no matter what the
short-term results. You've come a long way. Keep going!

Going Yoga way to fight Obesity
A person of normal weight takes a diet which is sufficient
to sustain daily activities without storing energy in the
form of fat tissue. Putting on weight, however, means there
has been a change in our lifestyle that is conducive to
storing energy (calories) in the form of fat tissue. Also,
when we speak of obesity in yoga, we refer not only to the
physical body, but to all the aspects of our being and the
way in which we nourish and mobilize them. In most cases
aim of yoga is not just reduction of weight, but this is
bound to happen as an outcome of our increased self-awareness.
The best asanas for obesity are the Pawanamuktasana series
for the digestive system which help to remove extra fat
from the abdomen, hips and thighs, and activate the energy
in the lower panic centers.
In yoga therapy the body is the instrument, not the end;
it is the means, not the aim. So, it is not just the techniques
that are important, but also the attitude with which we
undertake them, how disciplined and regular we are in the
practice.
