What is it!

Some of you might be kinda curious.

If you are, this is for you!

Yup, it's a fitness post.

I usually do 20 - 40 minutes of cardio before, then 20 - 40 of weights or strength training after.

In my Yoga Booty class, if you want to follow along, this is what it be like. Grab a Yoga mat or a towel. I usually wear a Nike sports bra, Yoga pants & whatever clean T-Shirt I grab, to the gym. Might help to take your shirt off, remove shoes & socks, too.
This is just a part of why I keep my feet pretty.

*******************Let's GO!*****************

Childs Pose:

Come to the back of your mat, on hands & knees. Get into a kneeling position. Bring big toes to touch each other, now walk your hands out in front of you as far as they will go, with your head down. Breathe in then out 5 times through the nose. On your 5th breath, come up to hands & knees.

Cat-Cows

On your hands & knees, inhale, pulling abs in, raise your head up, pull shoulder blades together, arch so your booty is up in the air.

Exhale, rounding your spine, dropping head low, tucking tail bone down toward the mat.

Repeat, 5 times of each.

Come to a neutral position on hands & knees.

Lift your hips in an upside down V into downward facing dog. Inhale. Lift your right leg high, exhale, bring it down to the mat. Inhale, lift left leg high, exhale, bring it back down to the mat.

Inhale, step forward to your hands. Exhale, rise up, hands to the sky! Reach high. Arch backward, slowly. Feel so sexy doing this! It gives me a view in the mirror of the progress I've made on abs & obliques in the past 8 months of working them hard, eating clean.

Inhale, fold forward, exhale, half lift. Inhale, fold forward. Exhale, rise up into chair pose.
Chair pose :
Feet & knees together, bend at the knees as if sitting, tucking tail bone under. Raise hands in the air, palms facing each other, chest lifted.

Bring palms together, at chest, fold forward. Repeat this once.

Go back into chair. Inhale, step right foot back in a lunge, then, slowly move toward a 90 degree bend in left knee. Bring right foot forward, repeat by stepping the left foot back, 90 degree bend in right knee. Come back to chair, 2 breaths, fold forward. Half lift.

Plant your hands, step back to high plank. Hold for 4 breaths.

Raise hips into down dog position.4 breaths feel that stretch!!

Raise right leg straight up, as you inhale, bring right knee into right elbow. Move with your breath. Repeat 14 times.
Switch sides, 14 times on left.

Feel that burn, baby!

In down dog, lower, moving forward into high plank. Lower all the way down, go into upward facing dog, raise hips to down dog. Shift forward into high plank.

Rise up into chair, turn to face forward. Step to a wide stance, knees pointed outward into a wide sumo squat. Hold. Breathe. If you want to have a little fun, raise the heels of your feet for 2 breaths. Set heels down. Repeat once. Stand up into a wide stance. Turn toes a little inward. Clasp hands behind your back. Bend over at the waist, 4 breaths. Release hands. Go into warrior 2. Reverse warrior. Move hands down to the mat in high plank.

We're gonna raise the roof with right leg flexed, right foot flexed for 4 counts. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4!
Switch to the left.
Now the right.
Now the left.
Now the right.
Now the left.

Lower down to the mat. Hands down at your sides.
Inhale.
Lift chest and knees & toes as high off the mat as you can.
Hold for 6 breaths.

Press back into childs pose for 6 breaths.

Lift up into high plank.

Lower down to the mat. Up dog. 2 breaths, step feet forward to the hands. Sit down on the mat. knees up, feet on the mat. Arms forward, slowly roll down to laying on your back. Bring the heels of your feet as close to your booty as you can. Raise your hips up, keeping your belly in a "navel to spine" drawn in. Slide your shoulder blades under, clasping your hands under your back.
Unclasp hands, lower down.
Repeat 3 times.
Release everything so that you're laying flat on the mat.
Draw knees to your chest, hug them in tight, rock side to side. Rock side to side 8 times, this releases your lower back.

Come up into a sitting position, legs crossed in front, knees out.

I go through this work out once to twice every day. Sometimes 3 times if it's needed. My boo-tay benefits from it!
