Checking in
Well I did 20 push ups and thought I was going to die!!!
How many did you do?
PS
You can burn calories in Yoga. I recant my remark :). I think that what I meant to say was if I am going to spend 60 minutes exercising I would like to burn 700 calories running as opposed to 300 in yoga :).
PPS
And I have actually been doing Yoga with Jess for 5 years. Crazy. Has it really been that long?

Making Exercise a Priority
Making exercise a priority.
Exercise, love it or hate it, you gotta do it.
We all know that to lose weight we have to eat right and exercise. And besides the fact that it can help with weight loss there are a million other reasons to make it a part of your day. A few of these reasons include more energy, decreased stress, disease prevention, weight management, better mood, a hot bod.
And yet, with all these great reasons it can still be a pain in the butt to get it done. Between work, school, chasing kids, housework, spouses, a social life, who's got the time to exercise?
How is it that some people seem to always get it done?
Quick answer: They have made it a priority. They realize the benefits, have enjoyed the benefits and want to keep 'em rolling.
How can you make exercise a priority? Here's a few tips.
Make up your mind. Make up your mind that you want to exercise to lead a healthy life. If you aren't convinced that it will be good for you, you won't do it. You don't have to like it you just have to do it.
Set short term goals and stick to them. If all you can do when starting is walk around the block. Perfect. Do it. Then when you have reached those initial short term goals, reevaluate and set some more.
Make a plan that is reasonable. If the only time you can exercise is before the butt crack of dawn or long after the sun has set. That's fine. Just have a plan. Make sure someone is home to watch the kids, lay out your clothes, have your breakfast ready, whatever it is, be prepared!
Find a buddy. Or a blog. Or something to keep you accountable.
Keep track of your progress. There can be motivation in knowing where you started and where you are now. Also keep track of how you feel to help remind you why you're doing it in the first place.
And of course, reward yourself. You worked hard, reward yourself. Just be reasonable. And make it worth it!
So, here's to good health and hot bods! You can do it!

Yoga
Brought to you by a dear friend of mine, Jessica Miller. I have been taking Yoga from her for about 2 years now. I used to not be a "believer" to the benefits of yoga. If I was going to spend an hour exercising then I was going to be running, biking, or aerobics class. You don't burn calories doing yoga, I used to say.... and while that is still true, what you DO build is MUSCLE and the MORE muscle you have the MORE calories you BURN DAILY. And all the other benefits listed below :)
Thanks JESS!!!
I started practicing yoga about eight years ago and it is now my primary form of exercise. I know a lot of people (mostly runners :) who think yoga is too slow or not enough of a workout. Usually this comes from someone who’s either never tried it or hasn’t found the “right” yoga yet. Yoga can be gentle and full of stretching or a difficult workout for even the most seasoned exerciser. What I can promise you is that the addition of yoga to your routine will improve your abilities in your other forms of exercise and decrease your risk of injury. Why? Because yoga provides all of the following:

Because yoga provides all of the following:
1. Increased flexibility
2. Improved range of motion
3. Improved balance (also really helpful when we’re old and prone to falls!)
4. Increased strength and muscle tone
Yoga has also been shown to decrease your risk of osteoporosis and heart disease, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and provide anti-oxidant/detoxification benefits. Yoga also improves your posture and relieves stress.
My favorite thing about yoga? My body feels rejuvenated rather than broken down when I’m done! Plus I really like that you get to lie down and meditate at the end. It’s pretty dreamy! (No pun intended because you’re not actually supposed to fall asleep. Although, I must admit that I have. Shh, don’t tell!)
Have I convinced you? If you live in Mesa and would like to try yoga, I teach a free class at the church on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings. Email Britt if you want more info. We’d love to have you join us! Namaste!
