It also helps in building flexibility, and strengthens upper body and core. If you bored of normal yoga and wants to add some fun to your yoga routine try aerial yoga.

Weight lifting : yes it won’t make you manly !!

Yes you heard it right lifting weights is one of oldest trend in bodybuilding gaining popularity in women.

“Women are scared of getting masculine and bulky as it has become stereotype that women do cardio and man do lifting”
