Quick and Easy Yoga Workout For Core Strength

In the midst of school and other obligations, it’s often hard to find time to stay strong.  So throughout the day, I like to bust out some yoga moves to stretch out the back and work on strength and flexibility.  These ones are especially good for skiers and other athletes.

Start by lifting your arms and extending your spine while firmly rooting your feet to the ground:

Next, bend at the waist and plant your hands putting equal weight on both:

Extend one leg behind you:

From the above position, touch your knee to your opposite elbow 5x:

Knee to forehead 5x:

Knee to same elbow 5x:

Repeat on the opposite side.  Try and do 3 sets of 5 on each side, and tell me if you feel the burn.  It’s intense.

Hope you enjoy!  Stay tuned for a video and more workouts.
