Inspiration/Motivation Tip: Release your mind and open your heart.

Workout: 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- This is a yoga pose that stretches your hamstrings, inner thighs (groin), hip rotators & back. This pose also helps improve your balance and digestion.

Exercise Tip: If your muscles feel very tight and stiff make sure you take the time to stretch. Ignoring your flexibility work will just increase your risk of pulling a muscle, ligament or tendon.
