Balancing Warrior pose builds muscle stability by engaging your hamstrings, glutes and spine, along with your core and stabilizer muscles.
While we all want a goal-worthy body, developing a strong core and working all the major muscle groups is no easy task. Highlighting the same, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s yoga trainer Anshuka Parwani has shared a video suggesting some yoga asanas to build muscles. Anshuka has shared a video on Instagram which shows how the warrior pose can strengthen the core muscles and make it ‘hardcore’ with the help of weights.
In the video, the yoga trainer is seen doing exercises with weights. Revealing the workout, Anshuka wrote, “Warrior pose variations work all the major muscle groups, especially the arms, shoulders and legs. According to her, it helps stretch and strengthen the glutes and hip flexors. It also stretches the chest and lungs while improving balance, focus and stability.
He further wrote about the importance of adding weight to the exercise. She wrote, “Adding weights to warrior pose makes a yoga workout more intense and challenging, especially when it comes to building muscle and strength”.
Warrior pose, also known as Virabhadrasana, is a series of yoga poses that represent the legendary warrior Virabhadra, a form of the god Shiva according to Hindu mythology.
Virabhadrasana is a core asana, a lunging, standing pose that can help you strengthen your legs, spine, and core.
