We tried it, now win it! Easy yoga workouts you can do in 20 minutes

 
A few mornings ago, I grabbed my yoga mat, popped A.M./P.M. Yoga for Beginners into the DVD player and settled in for a workout. I admit it, I was not a happy camper: Getting up earlier than usual for yoga? Not my M.O.

 

The DVD comes with two workouts you ideally do in one day—the a.m. section in the morning to energize you, the p.m. section in the afternoon or evening to relax you.  The a.m. workout is led by acclaimed yoga instructor Rodney Yee—on the beach, natch. Once I got into the groove, I felt my body start to throw off the sleepiness, loosen up and (shocker of shockers) wake up.  The moves were easy to follow and didn’t leave me feeling like an inflexible goofball doing silly things at the crack of dawn. And by the time it was over, I felt really good about myself and ready to conquer the day. Who can say no to a li’l dose of carpe diem?

 

Not I, apparently, because as soon as I got home that evening, I stretched back out on the floor for round 2, a p.m. yoga session led by Patricia Walden. As soon as I started focusing on my breathing, I noticed the stress leaving my body—ahh. Whether it’s a long day at work, a fight with my parents or simply the rigors of everyday life, I think this is one I’ll be coming back to. It’s easy, it’s paced slowly and each workout is under 30 minutes, so it’s easy to squeeze in to my daily routine.
 

 

Want to score your own copy of A.M./P.M. Yoga for Beginners and give yoga a try? Well, lucky for you, we talked to the amazing folks at Gaiam and they’re letting us give away two copies!

I got a wicked sunburn yesterday and I put on lotion with aloe in it but it isn't helping at all and I can't move my back WHAT CAN I DO??????? Please help ASAP




Hey girl!

There's a few things you can do. Keep applying the aloe lotion to keep the burn moisturized. You don't want it to get dry. You can also wet a towel with cold water and put it on your back to relieve some of the pain. If the pain is super bad, you can try taking a painkiller like Tylenol, Advil, or Motrin.

I'm going on a camping trip for a week soon and I want to know what I should pack. We won't really be doing any hiking or stuff like that but we will be going to the town and by the beach. It's at a state park. Thank You!

 


Hey
girlie!


Definitely
bring some towels and bathing suits if you’re going swimming. Cute cover-ups
and fun t-shirts are also great to wear over your bathing suit or in town if
you’re walking around. Bring flip flops but also some tennis shoes that will keep your feet comfy when you're taking adventures! A water bottle is great to stay hydrated! Maybe pack some sunglasses, lots of socks, comfy shorts, and definitely sunscreen!

This is probably a dumb question but after I workout what do I do? Go back and sit on the couch and watch t.v? And how long should I do each move during my workout? How many moves should I include in my workout? Thanks!

 

Hey girl! The best thing to do after working out is to shower or at least wash your face! Lots of sweat and dirt builds up during your workout, so it's best to get all that gross stuff off before catchin up on your TV shows. As for the length of your workout, it really depends. 30-60 minutes of exercise is probably best, so you could spend about 2-3 minutes on each move (doing several reps), and do about 10 moves. Adding in a little cardio, like a jog, is great too!

Save your workout for when your fave TV show is on. Watching PLL while exercising will keep you distracted the whole hour. You’ll get in shape without even noticing!
