One word...YOGA

By now, I can't imagine that many of you don't know what yoga is, but for those few that live under rocks or are new to the exercise community, it's the ancient art of stretching. Well, that's probably not true, but all you need to know is that it is awesome. I attribute the regular practice of Yoga to feeling good while working out and being able to push myself farther then I ever thought.  You might think that it's not for you or you just don't have time to do it. Well, once again, good job with the excuses. Yoga is for everyone. Unless a doctor tells you otherwise. All you need is 30 mins and a little patience. Some days I even do it with my oldest kids, of course it's not as relaxing, but it still does the job.

My hubby and I are fans of a free series on FitTV called Namaste Yoga. It is a great 30 min workout that consists of a five minute warm up, twenty minutes of the main workout, then five more minutes of a cool down.  It is on really early in the am, so we record it and keep it as long as we want. Just give it a try.  If nothing else you will have tried something new. Once you get hooked on this ancient art of stretching :), branch out, find a yoga class in your area and go.  Meet new people, get healthy, what's better then that.  Until next time.
