Friday Fitness: Starting the day with a Sun Salutation

Every morning I like to climb to the roof of my house overlooking the beach, where I can find peace and quiet to complete my Sun Salutation. A Sun Salutation is a series of steps that incorporates both resistance and cardio training. It's good for the body and the mind. Physically, daily practice of a Sun Salutaion can stretch and tone muscles, increase flexibility and rid the body of toxins. Some of the mental benefits of a Sun Salutaion include reducing stress and anviety, and increasing concentration and focus. I find Sun Salutations a great way to start the morning, however they can be done at anytime of day whether you are feeling stressed to meet a deadline, planning for a big event, or just want to unwind.

This 10 minute exercise can be easily done anywhere! See this handout for step-by-step instructions or watch the video below!
