Since it has the ability to both reduce stress and exercise the body, yoga is a great part of any wellness routine. If you are trying to use yoga to lose belly fat, well, that can be done. There are a number of yoga positions (called asanas) which exercise the stomach muscles. Bear in mind that some of these are more advanced than other. Assess your own skill and comfort level before trying certain asanas. If you are not sure you are able to do one asana, start with one that seems easier and work your way up once you have belt some strength and flexibility. Make sure to consult a fitness professional before beginning any new workout routine in order to prevent injury.

The knee is a hinge. It is a large, weight-bearing joint, but the motion of the knee is much more strictly limited than that of most other joints. Knees straighten to make the leg a stable support, and it will bend to more than a right angle – to approximately 120 degrees. However, it does not move in any other direction. The great strength of the knee is from it's limited motion, but it is not engineered to take stresses on the side.

The knee must be stable and it must be able to extend fully to a straight leg. If it cannot extend fully the muscles must support the body at all times and knee strain is continuous. Normally our knee locks when in the straight position and allows us to relax. Weak knees that wobble from side to side cause too much stress on the side ligaments, and the condition may gradually worsen.
