It so happened that at the end of each year it is customary for us to sum up the results of the past, analyze them and make plans for the coming year. Lifehacker also has such a tradition, and in this publication we select the most useful articles on the topic of sports and health. So, welcome - the best sports training of 2015 according to Lifehacker!

We tried to make sure that our selection covers a variety of areas and takes into account a wide range of problems, to combat which people start to play sports and buy a subscription to a sports club, start running, do yoga or work on themselves at home as much as they can. We hope that these articles have really helped you and inspired you to maintain a healthy lifestyle - or at least made you think about it. Next year you will find even more interesting and useful information!

Yoga for the abdomen: 5 easy poses to help restore slimness

Fat on the belly often appears even in thin people, and it is very difficult to get rid of it. Not only is the bulging tummy immediately visible and it brings a lot of mental suffering. It also affects overall health. Belly fat can lead to type 2 diabetes, heart problems, and cancer, so getting rid of it is very important.

Yoga is a very effective way to cope with this problem, any person who has done at least a little bit of it will attest. Of course, exercise alone will not solve everything: yoga classes will help to visually reduce the belly, but 70% of success depends on proper nutrition.
