30 Straight Days of Bikram Yoga --- Comparing Day 1 to Day 31

Bikram Yoga is not just regular yoga -- it's an intense, 90 minute long yoga session in extreme heat, upwards of one hundred degrees.

[@bumblinloon4020]

1. Cut carbs 2. No Alcohol 3. Drink plenty of H20 (5 liters per day ) 4. Bikram 3 times a week 5. Cardio , weights and abs at Gym twice a week. I lost 10 Kgs in 15 days doing it. Feels great.

[@grolfe3210]

1. You have it wrong. Cut Fat and Sugar. Complex carbs are fine. Carbs are not high in calories and are a key part of your diet. But most people eat too much sugar and fat, both things that are loaded with calories to pile on fat. Only look at carbs if you really are eating too much.

[@bumblinloon4020]

Not with the amount of beer I was drinking 🤣

[@ariafalco]

5liters of water per day? No bueno

[@cyntia2623]

I don't feel a scale is a good way to measure once you start building muscle. From personal experience I've come to find out that yoga tones , strengthens and relaxes my body way better than my years I've spent in the weight room. Anyways! Congrats you stuck with it and you seem happy.

Easy on the eye makes for easy watching!

@ stedyplotn bikram yoga is basically an internal shower, its amazing what it does to u in the inside, to ur organs ur brain ur blood flow, all is great and yes u do get more flexible and to be honest some classes are easy when u doing the 30 day challenge but some classes are hard depends on ur day its a journey but its amazing and last but not least does wonders to ur mind, u found urself a lot more relaxed and have a lot more patient to everything....

[@mh1290]

Bikram yoga is amazing! It benefits your body and mind. I’ve enjoyed my hot, sweaty suffering. 🥰

[@Freakforphotos]

You actually look younger on day 31!

[@lynderanobles]

did your eating habits change during your 31 days?

[@DianaGarcia-tw5zn]

Im mexican and when i heard the music in the background, it made me laugh. lol I love Manu Chao!

[@drkojedrkic1957]

here's a few suggestions for using yoga reduce weight Find a reputable program locally or online and stick to it Do yoga with a colleague so you have another person to encourage you (I discovered these and the reasons they work on Yaras Yoga Tactics site )

[@veewooshi9882]

I’m french and he’s the reason why I wanted to learn Spanish when I was younger. Great singer

[@craigtiede6216]

I'm going to try it but am 62...hope it's safe for seniors. I'll do some research..

[@pietrakhazaeli8539]

It doesn't matter if you only lost 13 lbs. You went from being an average looking guy to really good looking. You look 15 years younger. I have been doing Bikram for 30 days now, 3 times per week. I skipped one week because of Thanksgiving. I have gained 5 lbs but all my cloths fit looser. After my second yoga class my energy level went through the roof. It has suppressed my appetite. That has to be good for loosing weight; There are much more calories burned through out the day. Great video!

[@skyislandaz]

Part 2: If you need to lose weight, invest your resources in diet, aerobic exercise and weight-training. I have already paid my dues in the weight-loss arena and and now am using Bikram to gain other more advanced and sophisticated benefits of the mind and body. Diet is the most important element in weight loss, especially the avoidance of all added sweeteners (read the label closely) AND processed foods. These changes must be essentially life-long changes, or the weight will be regained.

[@laurahowell3999]

fantastic effort! Im going to bikram 2 days a week and love it! :)

[@skyislandaz]

I am a Bikram practitioner. I must emphasize that it is not for weight loss, it is fundamentally for strength, balance and flexibility. In addition, there are also a lot of small collateral benefits that very from one individual to the next. A few may lose weight, but a few may gain as well. In addition to strength, flexibility and balance, there is a substantial mental benefit as well.

[@madamepalomita]

sick tunes dude! Great job on the yoga too!

[@SpiritsBB]

I did half a year. Lost about 12lbs, waist size down. Jumped back up 15lbs 3 months after I stopped due to injury, waist size as large as before. Bikram yoga is not for losing weight. I've seen my bikram teachers gain weight like crazy as soon as they slack for a few months.

[@grolfe3210]

You seem to be expecting to do some exercise but then expect the benefits of it to continue after you then stop doing the exercise!! You give two examples of losing weight from bikram and then people putting on weight when they stop doing it. Surely it is the NOT doing bikram that led to the weight gain!!

[@patriciaboyd7493]

Thanks for making short and to the point

[@keilalambert1574]

Love the background music lol

[@elyctricdisaster]

+Keila Javier Manu Chao - Me gustas tu :)

[@Sylphadora]

It's called 'Me gustas tú' (I like you) by Manu Chao =)

[@carlita1976able]

the name of the group is manu chao,the song is me gustas tu

[@MelanieMcDaniel]

Congratulations! Keep it up!

[@ciacciom]

Great job. Hope you are feeling well also.

[@MADISONMORD]

Nice song. Did you change your eating habits during your challenge? I am currently on a 30 day Bikram challenge as well.

[@UncleLouis1]

on day 7, thanks for the motivation.

[@marcelam011]

Love the music!!

[@MemorableJ]

What's that song? Well done, I'm doing bikram, not a thirty day challenge- yet

[@guntarfassbender1547]

It's Manu Chao, Próxima Estación: Esperanza is the album, Me Gustas Tu is the title.

[@acha0709]

woaaaaahhh....cool!!! I should tell my husband that this really works!!

[@Mizeemix]

I am looking at your face you lost so much in your face. You actually look younger!!!

[@MagdaEnigma007]

Hello, well done! I'm about to start. Just a quick question. Did you diet as well or is this 13 pounds a pure yoga effect?

[@picknswing]

Great job, and thanks for sharing! Any major changes to diet or other exercise during your 31 day journey? Have you kept it up since then?

[@Rivershines]

Wow well done completing your challenge! I tried it out but I found that Bikram's teaching method sucked all the fun, joy and creativity out of yoga. For me the class was mechanical, boring, exercise regime in a hot, loud and bright hell. I was shocked by how not-fun it was compared to the vinyasa flow hot-yoga I have done elsewhere. The instructor barked instructions at us non-stop for the full 90 minutes. Did you enjoy the classes and your progress? Will you continue with the method in the future?

[@atenasafaei1607]

Dinavalerie11 I do agree with Claire on the instructions being too mechanical, boring and not a fun environment ;but honestly when I switched going from one location to another one, it made a huge difference! I go to the one in Colony, TX and they have a much relaxer atmosphere and they are very personable. Bikram is a boring routine,but it all depends on your own experience, so give it a shot :)

[@atenasafaei1607]

I'm glad you are loving it. It definitely is very different and relaxing.

[@trsidn]

I've been doing it for a year. I haven't lost much weight, but I wasn't too heavy before. I have improved much in flexibility, but I still have a long way to go. I started when I was 55, so i have a lifetime of damage to undo. It is kind of a hell during, but I feel much better outside. I did some vinyasa before (or whatever passes for it around here) and it wasn't doing much. I do it for health, not creativity.

[@djshayrox]

I love your video. I am just starting my 30 day challenge. Did you change your diet too? Are you you from the midwest because you sound like my brother.

[@marieholoub4084]

The music is too loud. Hard to hear what it's said

[@jinamelvin6066]

When you stepped on the scale in the beginning of the video and you said error, my computer legit lagged like in the matrix lmao' "e-eeeeee-r-ror"

[@roseyyz7436]

mine reads 'horror" lol

[@channel2206]

i think it depends on how you see this vd. phil's goal in this vd. was probably to loose weight so he choose bikram yoga as his form of exercise.

[@AbruzzoPassion]

You are very handsome :)

[@nlauderdale]

Congratulations! Are you still practicing?

[@jiujitsu94]

Awesome video man, thanks for posting. On the last day, it's always better to weigh in the following morning. You'll be an additional pound lighter due to your body's consumption of water while you sleep. Make sure you pee first though. Again, great video!

[@surrected4526]

So, true. And the body burns calories during sleep.

[@poulosetotem]

Many think of asanas only.Remember that there is more than that.Visit u tube and click'yogi jig'.this is from the Upanishad.Pleasure.

[@jerseygoats]

if its not yoga, then what is it? I would like to hear you say that to Bikram himself he would certainly confirm the sequence of hatha yoga known as Bikram.... Oh and before you go on about the heat... where is yoga traditionally from? India? Its hot!

[@tiggione]

He is telling the truth....look at his toes nais.....definetely they are cut again after a month

[@rajohnson4s]

[@forfunna]

[@shgfe3ay]

[@johnbruches598]

[@bridgetreddan1]

What is the song?

[@Ddagan]

good jorb

[@klergrima]

@chainedtotheworld me gustas tu - manu chao

[@nandomango4064]

Is that actual weight as in fat or is that all water weight you lost? just wondering....

[@shgfe3ay]

you cannot lose 5kg of water weight! tops, 2kg, but im guessing he rehydrated himself right after class - most people do

[@surrected4526]

Don’t forget that while you lose fat, you gain lean muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat.

[@LouieLove43]

surrected4526 Nope. Muscle is denser. A pound is a pound.

[@surrected4526]

You are right, I stand corrected! A pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same-a pound. The good news is that muscle takes up less space in the body due to its compact density, while fat is all over the place, big and puffy. ~~Thanks for the comment/feedback.

[@bigtrell35]

surrected4526 You read how to win friends and influence people huh? I'm reading it now and that was perfect!

[@shagunsachar3580]

Is bikram yoga the same as ashtanga yoga?

[@shagunsachar3580]

***** Thank you so much,but which of them is better to lose weight?

[@shagunsachar3580]

+Eduardo Gamez thanks so much !

[@trsidn]

It is not.

[@ariafalco]

If it were the same it d have had the same name of ashtanga yoga.🤗

[@nubirumason]

185 kg what??? It's a lot for him

[@emmajones1821]

[@tamaraublova7232]

[@matthewandkira]

Water weight? Drink up :\

[@IndependentGeorge76]

@Isaac Mamon the hilarious thing is u took time out of yr Xmas day to call someone who committed himself to 30days bikram, a loser . Oh the irony :)

[@welshhibby]

wish they wouldn't call it yoga...it isnt

[@Bibi111ism]

Awful ! It makes think that the first purpose of Bikram Yoga is to loose weight in a luxury atmosphere. This the dark side of Bikram, the fake side.

[@f4iryprnc3s]

Marry me

[@Lore4Sun]

[@DianaGarcia-tw5zn]

[@andreacolenan6965]
