Get Fit Fridays

Dear World,
As many of you may NOT know, I have been trying to no avail to lose this mound of unnecessary baby weight that I had gained in my pregnancy with Rowyn. (A tip to all you pregnant Momma's out there...When it comes to HUGE stacks of pancakes and over sized plates of Mexican food JUST SAY NO. The satisfaction of your craving it just not worth it.) I want to lose 30 lbs and fit into my cute clothes again...so I thought you all should do it with me:].

YES! Wasn't it nice of me to just sign you up to get fit also? Not really caring whether or not you'd like to do it, I'll be posting "Get Fit Fridays" every week with a workout, recipe or tip to stay on track.
Don't worry world...in a few months we'll be sexy again and have a nice, firm butt that doesn't want to destroy Tokyo.

This Get Fit Friday I'm going to post a few fat burning yoga stretches that you can do in the morning to help wake you up and get you going. Curtousy of Womenshealthmagazine.com

Down Dog Split

Start in a pushup position, lift your hips, and move into the downward-facing dog pose, keeping your legs straight and pressing your heels into the floor (a). Lift your right leg straight back and up, keeping your right foot firmly flexed (b). Imagine you are pressing your foot into a wall behind you.

Half Crowlift

From down dog split, lower your right leg and bend your knee in to the outside of your right arm as you raise your chest and shift your weight forward. Keep this move slow and controlled. Make it harder: Move your shoulders in front of your wrists, bend your elbows, and try to lift your left foot off the ground.

Knee to Forehead

 From down dog split, slowly lower your right leg as you raise your stomach and hips, round your back, and bring your knee toward your forehead, keeping your toes pointed and core engaged. Tuck your chin toward your chest, and extend your upper back forward through your shoulders.

Warrior III

From down dog split, put your right foot between your hands. Raise your arms off the ground and shift your weight onto your right foot as you raise your left leg. At the same time, bring your torso forward until it's parallel to the floor, reaching your arms forward. Flex your left foot, pointing toes down.

Sincerely, 

Lea
