Tip from Me!!

So here's a tip that has worked for me. It may help those of you that are unable to work out most days of the week to.

Stretching

If you are able to work out or not, try fitting in a 10 to 15 minute stretching session EVERY day. Stretching alone lengthens, strengthens and tones muscles. You may not lose weight, but you can lose inches and gain strength through stretching each day alone. Don't believe me? Ask any Yoga instructor. The whole fitness program is based on this little fact.

Tips:

-hold stretches for at least 20 to 30 seconds. As the stretches get easier to hold, push farther and hold longer.
-No bouncing. Bouncing makes tears in your muscles that will cause more harm than good. Move slowly then hold steady for the entire stretch.
-Hold your core tight throughout every stretch. Even if you are stretching your arms, legs, back or whatever. ALWAYS hold your abdominals tight.

Hope this helps. Especially those of you that can't make it to the gym everyday.

Love ya!!
