I LOVE our challenge this week! It’ll make you feel GREAT, help you become more flexible, build strength, and get your blood pumping!
It involves a special yoga sequence that can be a great warm-up exercise before conditioning and lifting workouts – or it can be done slowly and deliberately to help you relax.
If you haven’t guessed it yet, it’s Sun Salutations! 🌞🌞🌞
This modern-day series of movements is a staple of most yoga classes, but according to Yoga Journal its origins date back to a ritual that’s nearly 3,500 years old!
Basically, sun salutations involve cycling through a series of basic movements that stretch and strengthen nearly every muscle in your body.
This week let’s try to do TWO sun salutations every day (more if you’re feeling ambitious!).
If you’re not familiar with them, here’s a short and instructive video from Gaiam:
Report in and let us know how you feel AFTER doing them (hint: you’ll probably feel relaxed, limber, and balanced!).
Are you up for doing this daily this week with me!?
Let me know!
