Healthy Fitness Challenge: Week 11, Day 5

Every weekday, join "The Mo'Nique Show" on a 12-week workout program with Hollywood trainer Jeanette Jenkins.

Inspiration/Motivation: Allow yourself to be a beginner. No one starts off being excellent. Try something new and enjoy the journey.  
Warmup: Yoga or Pilates to lengthen and tone your muscles, open your joints and release tension and stress from your body.
Exercise of the Day: Triangle Revolved is an excellent yoga pose to stretch the hips & hamstrings and lengthen & tone the entire body. This pose also tones the core and invigorates your internal organs for digestion & elimination.

Exercise Tip: When you are training always listen to your body. Never ignore pain and always make sure that you execute all of your exercises with good form & technique.
