How many rounds of surya namaskar should be done daily to lose 5 kgs a month and at what pace?

Why impose a time constraint on losing weight now when you didn't set any limits while gaining it? It's unlikely that you gained this weight in just a month, two, six, or even twelve. Yet, now that it has accumulated, you want to shed it all in just one month.

I am not trying to dissuade you. I am simply considering its feasibility. To me, it seems challenging, if not outright impossible. However, what's even more crucial is that even if you achieve it, it can have detrimental effects in the long term. Our bodies are not designed to be used, mistreated, or exploited as we please. Misusing it can lead to severe consequences. Research shows that rapid weight loss is often followed by weight regain.


Now practicability part.


To lose 1 kg of body weight, you need to burn 9000 calories. If you practice yoga or surya namaskar for an hour, you can burn around 300 to 350 calories, or up to 400 if done vigorously. By consistently doing this for one hour daily over 30 days, you might burn up to 12000 calories in a month. However, this assumes that your calorie intake remains constant, as any additional calories consumed would offset your efforts. By dedicating an hour daily to these activities, you may lose slightly over 1 kg in a month.


To achieve a quicker weight loss, you must step up your efforts. To lose 5 kg, consider increasing your daily workout by around five hours. Is this sustainable? Aren't there other important tasks to attend to? Therefore, I find it to be quite challenging. Once more, I return to my initial point: why impose a time restriction in the first place? Undoubtedly, it is important to have objectives, but these objectives should be achievable and beneficial for our well-being. I commend your choice to pursue weight loss. However, try to make it an enjoyable experience and embrace the journey, rather than approaching it as a rigid and punitive ordeal for your body.


If you dedicate one hour daily to exercise and stick to that routine consistently, you have completed your task. Even if it takes five months, it's okay. Your well-being is more important than rushing the process. By committing to one hour of exercise daily, you can stay happy and energetic without putting your health at risk.
