Belly fat is such a stubborn fat that it is very difficult to reduce it. Many times every type of diet and workout also fails to reduce it. In such a situation, yoga and exercise can prove to be effective. Many types of yogasanas are prescribed to reduce belly fat, one of which is Chakki Chalasana.

How to do Chakki Chalasana-

Chakki Chalasana is also known as Windmill Churning Asana. During this, the body is in such a shape that it seems as if you are grinding in a mill. Sit with both legs spread. Join your hands together and make a fist by interlocking the fingers. Then move your hands in a circular motion like grinding in a mill, in which the upper part of the body will move and the lower part will remain stationary.
