Though its tough to get rid of the back fat, its not impossible. Consistent back workouts and a proper diet can help you to tone those muscles.

All you need is the right frame of mind, willingness to be a better you and a solid yoga mat will do.

Half the battle is won in the head. The rest is just sweat.

Warning: If you face any difficulty, avoid the pose. If you are suffering from low blood pressure, headache then avoid these stretches. Incase you suffer from any neck problems, then don’t look upwards, instead look down to the floor

So lets get this party started 🙂
