Burn Baby Burn!!

All you need is a bench and your body

Repeat 3 times
Lateral Step up Squats 15x each side (Side of bench: one foot on top of the bench, squat and then step up and tap the bench)
Single leg step ups 1 minute each side (behind the bench: one foot on top of the bench tap the opposite foot as you bring it up to the bench.)

Find the time to do this and let me know how your legs and glutes felt. Mine are sore from doing this earlier today as part of my workout. #makeithappen2013

After being out for 10 days with a psoas injury. I found great comfort and help in yoga. As I practiced I was able to inventory on my body....

What did it want??

Where was I tight??

How could I better myself??

It was wonderful to have the time to reconnect and become grounded again. So many times we think that we need to pound out our weaknesses to get results. When really we need to take the time to reflect and listen to our bodies. The body really knows what is best!

Can you say PUSH UP....

To have a rock hard body like hers would be nice, but I REALLY would love to have your strength and stamina. WOW!!
