If you have been following the yoga series here, I can suggest a few from the list: you may to have track them back, by going through the links given here. For upper body, from this set you must try kandharasana (shoulder pose). This can be done both as repeats. Or held for long. You will feel the muscle responding almost immediately! So don't over do it. Build stamina, so you can do 30 repeats/ or hold for half a minute at one time. You find results immediately. From earlier sets you must try also navkasana or boat pose. Here, you must learn to hold it for longer, from a few seconds initially to one minute or more, then after six months, to two minutes, or so. It is very powerful. Again, parvatasana (mountain pose, part of the surya namaskar set and also referred to as inverted-V pose). Here you may again strive to hold the pose longer, following the same stamina building schedule I suggested above. This will tone the entire legs, back of the legs, thighs, inner thighs superbly. It also tones the abdomen and upper arms: all difficult regions to tame:) If you follow this for four-six weeks it should show results. Keep us posted about the experience...

thanks for your kind words Mujuhidji. About weight loss, if you see the series of yoga poses we have done, all are also involved with weight loss(you will see it in the benefits section for each pose). Since these poses are also therapeutic, these are also safe poses. I suggest your wife take one set, any set, and increase the repeats in poses (ie the number of times she does a pose) and then, add one more set in two weeks. She must increase the time she can hold each pose -- from 30 seconds to more, as suggested for each pose she chooses. She needs to have set of 12 poses, done from 30 minutes to one hour daily for effective weight loss. Vajrasana (see Yoga for meditation by us) before and after meal are also advised, for five mins. And of course, yogic diet is very crucial... which advises a light dinner, wound up latest by 8.30 pm. The dinner must be the lightest. In six weeks with such conscious eating and working out, she must definitely lose weight...
