Introduction

When it comes to weight loss, there's no one-size-fits-all solution. However, one Reddit user, cmaci90, shared her successful journey to inspire others. Over six months, she lost weight by switching from yoga-only to strength training and yoga.

The Before and After

Cmaci90's journey started at 117 pounds, but with determination, she was able to go up to 124 pounds after six months. Although people may not consider it a considerable weight loss milestone, one must remember that everyone's body is different. It's ultimately about how you feel in your body and mind.

The Yoga Routine

When starting her journey, cmaci90's exercise routine solely consisted of Moksha hot yoga, vinyasa yoga, and Kundalini yoga. Throughout the journey, she attended yoga classes at home and in a studio, focusing on Kundalini yoga more frequently. Despite starting with yoga, she switched to strength training after four months because she wanted to build more muscle.

The Strength Training Routine

After she started strength training, cmaci90's routine included squats, deadlifts, lunges, rows, and pull-ups. She performed these exercises two to three times a week and slowly increased the weight load to challenge herself. Although she liked progress with yoga, she noticed the benefits of incorporating strength training for her lifestyle.

Conclusion

Overall, cmaci90's journey shows that there are many paths to weight loss. Combining different workouts and routines that suit your body's needs is important. Trying different things and seeing what works for your lifestyle is crucial. It's not just about the number on the scale but also how you feel about yourself. Take inspiration from others like cmaci90 and find what works best for you!
