Get Your Stretch On!

 

Everyone around this time of year wants to be beach body ready.

 

I am not one of those people. This summer, all I care about is being healthy physically, mentally and emotionally. As long as I am happy and feel good then it will be a great summer.

 

Obviously, being healthy does not only mean eating healthy. You also have exercise your body.

 

It is very important to work out at least 3 times a week, but it does not have to be anything extremely active.

 

There are plenty of activities that one can to do to work out and still have fun. For example, taking a walk with your best friends, going swimming, doing yoga, running & playing with your children. The opportunities are endless.

 

Since I am a person of habit, I want to create a stick with a work out regime that would help me more active but also relieve stress.

 

My ideal workout regime is:

 

Mon - Work Out : Elliptical

 

Tues - YOGA

 

Wens - Work Out : Cycle

 

Thurs - YOGA

 

Fri - Work Out - Treadmill

 

I feel that doing yoga between the more active workouts can help stretch out your body to relieve tension and soreness but also prevent the possible of any injuries. Stretching is always important before doing any type of exercise. You must prepare you body for the activity.

 

Doing yoga between the periods of exercising is a great way to cool down, focus yourself and give your body time to rest, relax and recuperate.

 

How are you staying healthy this Summer?
