Blogger Martha McKinnon writes about trainer Judy Kuan’s column about yoga in Weight Watchers Magazine, Sept/Oct 2015:
So, imagine my delight when I read the following in this month’s Weight Watchers Magazine (September/October 2015):
Q: If you could only choose one kind of exercise to do on a daily basis what would it be?
A: Yoga. Specifically, ten sun salutations every day, beginning at a slow pace and then progressing to faster one, completing each posture in a single inhale or exhale before transitioning to the next posture.
Within the sun salutations, you can follow a sequence of poses know as a Vinyasa yoga flow. Build upper body strength with the chatting dandasana, plank pose. You can also open the hips and lengthen the hamstrings through the warrior 1 pose, which is essentially a front lunge with your back heel turned down to the floor and your arms raised over your head.
If you’re just starting, choose a type of yoga that’s best for you: fast paced Vinyasa, slower hatha, or restorative and search for a studio that specializes in that kind so that you can perfect your form and prevent injury. – Judy Kuan, Wello Trainer
