Get energized with yoga!


Check these out, too...

  • 10 moves to get ya moving in the a.m.
  • 10 butt busters to get your booty ready for the beach
  • Bella Thorne shows ya how to work it with WAAT-AAH!'s Move Your Body flash mob
  • 4 things that are killing your cardio workout
  • 6 graphic tees to get ya movin'
Tara Stiles, yoga instructor and owner of Strala Yoga, created a fresh workout for GL. Repeat it all the way through on both sides a few times a week (staying in each pose for 3 to 5 breaths)—you’ll look great and feel less stressed.

1. Standing Forward Bend 
Inhale and lift your arms up over your head. Exhale and fold forward, bending at the waist. Interlace your fingers behind your back, straighten your arms and relax your shoulders.

2. Plank
Get into a pushup position. Use your ab and butt muscles to stay straight (don’t let your belly dip or your butt fly up).

3. Up Dog
Start in a plank. Uncurl your toes (you’ll support yourself on the tops of your feet), lower your butt down and let your back arch. Bend your elbows a bit, relax your shoulders and lift your chest up.

4. Down Dog
From up dog, tuck your toes under so your feet are flat on the ground (or as close as possible). Lift your hips into the air. Keep your back straight and strong.

5. Down Dog Split with Open Hips
From down dog, inhale and lift your right leg up in the air behind you. Open your hips and shoulders to face the right and bend your knee behind you to open the hips even more.

6. Down Dog Split with Square Hips
Keep the right leg lifted high and square off your hips, so the toes point down toward the ground. Flex your foot and reach through your heel.

7. Knee to Forehead
From the down dog split, lift your right knee and try to touch it to your forehead.

8. Low Lunge
Now, place your right foot between your hands and move into a low lunge.

9. Warrior III
From the low lunge, shift your weight onto your right leg and stand up. Extend your left leg behind you, keeping your hips square to the floor. If you feel stable, reach your arms out in front of you (like our model). Wobbly? Keep your fingers on the floor.

10. Tree
From Warrior III, stand up and place your left leg on the ground. Open the left knee out to the side. Grab your left ankle with your left hand and press it into your upper thigh. Reach your arms over your head or keep your hands in a prayer position. Repeat the routine on the other side.

MOD i think i need to lose weight.. i am around 5'6'' and a little under 170 lbs i lost almost 20 lbs from the beginning of the year. do you think i am reallly over weight? and what can i do to ose more weight?? thanks

 

Hey girlie! Only youe doctor can tell you if you are overweight, but if you are interested in shedding pounds -- the healthy way -- I suggest increasing your fruits and veggies, decreasing all unhealthy items, drinking plenty of water and exercising. If you would like to go on a diet, you should always talk to your doctor frist regarding the best way to go Smile

Ok so my best guy friend, Drew I've know him for about 8 years now. Were good friends then this year ( I'm 14 and in 8th grade,so is he.) Then we started talking and I always though we were "just friends" but then he would text and IM me like 24/7 everyday it was annoying but sweet. Finally, he said he liked and I started to like him too so I told him. He gives me hugs everyday in school (we don't have any classes together.) So it so sweet and he kissed me once but even recently broke up with his gf and everyone says that its because he likes me that much. But now he stopped talking to me, he walks past me in the hallways and doesn't even say Hi. The worst part is that I like him more than ever and I know he still likes me. Then I go on facebook and he has another girlfriend all of the sudden. I'm so confused I didn't even see this my friend told me to go look. I text him and he won't answer. What does this mean? Help Frown




Hey girlie, your best bet is to confront him face-to-face. If he won't give you a straight answer then you should focus on moving on, because stressing over him is not worth it
