I am 26 years old. I hurt my back a couple of months back, I used to workout and my weight used to be 80-85 and currently it's around 92. I've consulted a orthopaedic doctor. I need to lose weight fast but I cannot do weights and cardio combined. Advised against sit up, push ups etc too. How do I go about losing weight without hitting the gym?

The first thing you should do is switch to a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced low-calorie diet. Avoid eating processed or unhealthy food and switch to fresh foods including fruits and vegetables. Quit unhealthy habits such as smoking and drinking. You should always look for opportunities to indulge in physical activities such as walking and climbing stairs. Enrol yourself in a sport of your choice and enjoy. Yoga Yoga can help you easily get rid of your side fat without much effort. Yoga offers some amazing poses and breathing exercises that can support your weight loss. Several yoga Pranayama include breathing modulations and deep breathing that can fill your lungs with fresh oxygen which is further transferred to the rest of your body. The increased oxidation throughout the body helps burns fat cells faster than normal. Deep breathing also promotes blood circulation and energy production in the body, which gives you more energy to become more physically active. Yoga also offers padmasana, another effective breathing exercise, that can elevate your lost weight without much effort. To perform the pranayama, sit relaxed but straight on a flat surface such as a mat. Cross your legs to move into padmasana and straighten your back. With your thumbs, close your ears and use your middle fingers to gently put a little pressure on your eyes. Use your indexes to press your temples and place your ring and little fingers on the bridge of your nose. Breathe deeply and exhale gradually through your nose. Perform it for close to 10 minutes.
