Kareena Kapoor's Chakrasana Will Make You Want To Try The Yoga Pose Too

Whenever you feel those mid-week blues kicking in, just have a glance at Kareena Kapoor's Instagram feed. Her fitness posts would surely motivate you to hit the gym. The actress is an ardent workout enthusiast who never skips her training sessions. Performing yoga also comes in her list of must-do exercises. Recently, Kareena shared a picture of herself executing a perfect Chakrasana or Wheel Pose. Dressed in athleisure, she deftly stretched her hands and legs, lifting her body upwards. Under the guidance of fitness coach Anushka, the diva professed her “love” for Chakrasana. But why is this yoga asana held in such high acclaim? Well, it is because one of the most obvious health benefits of performing Chakrasana is boosting one's strength and flexibility. Since the posture's targeted body parts are the back, chest, and stomach muscles, it also stimulates the hip flexors, spinal extensors, and hamstrings.

The perks of incorporating Chakrasana into your fitness regime do not end here. This exercise is great for individuals wishing to have a narrower waist. Chakrasana is believed to relax every muscle in the abdomen and could help reduce waist circumference. Also, it lessens stiffness in the chest's small joints and bones. But wait, do you know that Chakrasana also positively impacts your nervous system?  Chakrasana facilitates communication between the autonomic nervous system regulating functions like breathing, digestion, heart rate, and blood pressure, and the parasympathetic nervous system that relaxes the body after stressful situations. 

Kareena Kapoor Khan's grit and determination in performing every yoga asana deftly is our daily dose of inspiration. Earlier, the diva's fitness instructor dropped a video where the actress was seen displaying her balance and flexibility through stretching and weight training exercises. In a black sports bra and tight-fitted neon pink gym slacks, Kareena pulled off shoulder stands with ease. In another frame, the Jaane Jaan actress attended to her thigh muscles, balancing a weight in them followed by yoga wheels, squats, and tarpaulin jumps.
