YOGA CHALLENGE: Balancing Wide Squat
Spring has gotten me excited for the newest yoga challenge - Balancing Squat. This pose is great for stretching out the tiny muscles in your feet that have been cooped up in big clunky boots for much too long. This is also great for feet that get so stiff and sore from walking in heels and running.
Website of the Day: Sit or Squat
Sit or Squat lives up to its name. The site shows you the closest place to relieve yourself and whether that place qualifies as a sitting or squatting spot. (You get what I mean, ladies?).
Favorite Balancing Wide Squat
The last challenge was called Balancing Wide Squat and my favorite was posted by rugeorge. She even got her friend to do it with her and they're wearing matching outfits (it wasn't planned, but it's still adorable!). Now don't forget about the newest challenge called Twisting Extended Side Angle.Bounded Squat
Here's my go at this one. My shoulders made some interesting pops getting into the position, but all turned out okay.
Monday's Workout! (3/24/08)
Yesterday I was dead tired, but I picked up my new sunglasses after work and got home in time to still trek to the gym. Once I got to the gym I took my month measurements and found that I gained an inch in my boobs! and lost an inch and a half in my waist and an inch in my hips.Shower Stretches
I love to stretch in the shower, it is one of those rare times when I get to slow down. I turn on the soothing hot water, light some candles, play some relaxing music, and let the warm steam envelop me.
There are a 3 stretches that I love to do in the shower, just because it feels so good to close my eyes and calm my mind.
