Subject: Tight muscles / Weight Loss


I have been told my muscles are tight and that waste does not flow through may body. I understand that yoga is suppose to help this. What I want to know is this. With the waste not flowing correctly thru my body could this had kept me from losing weight? I have been trying to lose weight for 4 months.

Any form of help on this would be greatly appresciated.

Thank you,

it could be part of the equation.

if you eat a lot of processed foods, these increase 'wastes' and things that cannot be metabolized by the body in the body, which can increase the tightness of muscles too as well as increase one's weight.

so, it could be a lot of chicken-egg scenarios.

massage also helps. for many of my clients with very tight muscles, i recommend massage and yoga in their weekly routine.

Losing weight is a complex issue of caloric intake with proper nutrition from the right kinds of foods, and caloric expenditure with regular daily activity. You generally need to eat enough during the day (starting with breakfast) to get your metabolism running efficiently, but not so much that you run a calorie surplus. And it just takes time and consistency. What does a typical days menu look like in terms of major meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks throughout the day?) Drinking a lot of water helps flush "stuff" through your body as well. (Eight- 8 oz glasses is a good general rule of thumb. Although I have seen some "formulas" that specify a certain amount of ounces of water per pounds of body weight.)

nana - massage therapists often talk about massage being helpful in removing wastes from the body. I think it has some merit, though getting control of your diet, learning to move your own body well and getting some energy moving around will be just as helpful. Don't get too hung up on that one aspect. What is your diet like?

May I please have the name of the horses rear that told you this so I may steer those seeking support in finding their dharma to someone else?

Isn't that denigration of a horse's rear?

Yes there are probably horses rears all over the globe taking collective offense at having that person tossed into their midst. No doubt. I've insulted horses rears nationwide and I'd like to apologize to all the Bona Fide horses rears who do not want that person as part of their exclusive club.

Namaste Yo!

Speaking anatomically, and not in any kind of biblical sense, a horse's rear is a wonderful thing-biblically, a woman's rear is a wonderful thing (and sometimes anatomically as well ).
I can hear a chorus of horse's bums expressing their ackowledgement of your apology-now there's an image to linger for a long time

Take care

Some of my fellow students went on to do the animal chiropractic-It was against my principles-the only students that wanted to do it wanted to fix horses-just so they could then go and ruin the horse's back by riding them once they had done the adjustment. I always felt really sorry for the horse, especially as none of the students seemed to make any effort to slim down-you would have thought that it was obvious for horse spinal health, maybe it is not such a good idea to be overweight yourself as the rider of the horse, but no, it's a much better idea to spend thousands on chiropractic work for the poor animal
