Hey! I really wanted to share this challenge and I realize some may be like "what?!?!" but try it...YOGA! I say try it because the benefits are huge! Do not think like I did in the past "oh that is for people who really don't want to EXERCISE!" YOU gain flexibility which is important bc it helps our muscles, cartilage, and joints all work in sinc together!

Have you ever seen a muscle dude and he can't bend over?! He has limited flexibility and flexibility helps us move with ease! We lose flexibility as we age but if we pratice yoga or just plain stretching we gain it back!
Another benefit is we learn to breath correctly which oxygenate our bodies and we gain a decrease in anxiety...

Try and let me know if hate it or like it or on the fence.
I thought this was a nice beginner video! It is not long either! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfvd8ZgU8rw

Peace and joy,
WW

    This felt awkward. I doubt I was doing it right. I think I needed to have someone here to pose me. Glad I did it. I will look for someone who knows yoga and I will have them show me. Thank you.
