A 68kg person can only burn 150 calories in an hour during a yoga session. There are many other alternatives to get you shedding more calories than that. So, skip yoga if you're planning to slim down.

It's a popular routine among weight-watchers! Everyone has that specific part on their body to slim down. This won't work because, by genetics, we aren't able to choose only certain areas to burn fat from.

Intense cardio workouts will only cause muscle loss. It might be able to burn fat, but not in absolute amounts. So, you'll need to combine it with strength training. Also, keep your cardio workouts to three 30-minute sessions per week.
5- Pilates
