Just dropping our November Mat.
Well, last month I think I was doing the 7-min Tibetan Rites regularly, but this month I’m omitting those for the attractive, cool looking 5-min Rope Flow moves. I admit it, I can’t help flirting with all sorts of exercise snacks!
I know our very own Oldfloss is also a fan of those quick opportunities throughout the day to get a few minutes of Strength and Flexibility moves in.
What exercise snacks are your preferred practices? And how is your regular S&F going?
Just in case it helps, below, a few links to various types of follow-along workouts:
★ FIRST, for our yoga fans: Yoga with Adriene YWA calendar: yogawithadriene.com/calendar/
Both YWA above and The GirlWTM below have a popular YouTube following seem to be popular with our members, but many of us are following various other instructors, so feel welcomed to this mat, no matter which instructor you follow.
★ SECOND, regular session or even live sessions for our Pilates fans, The Girl with the Pilates Mat: youtube.com/@TheGirlWithThe...
And just head the Community tab to find her weekly planner with lists of workouts. The workouts will be in the playlists marked for the week and month.
★ THIRD For those continuing to practice the daily Five Tibetan Rites, here is the link to our TR challenge with all videos. Just choose one that you like and get twirling! healthunlocked.com/strength...
The Five Tibetan Rites offer a great daily or regular little mobility practice.
★ FOURTH And here is a link to our favourite aerobic stepping channel, with plenty of choice, but this link to Christina Dorner’s “Learn Step Aerobics” playlist has everything you need to learn to step: youtube.com/playlist?list=P...
★ FIFTH AND COMING SOON: I will drop a Treadmill Walking & Aerobic Step 4-week beginners plan!
So feel free to reply to this post when you do a workout. We’d love to hear how you are getting on.
And our general guidance is below:
If you are just joining us, big WELCOME to you and any new Virtual Workout Buddies! A short daily practice like Yoga or Mat Pilates is perfect to get some S&F into your day. But if you are looking for something else, here is a nice welcome post to invite you to the many S&F opportunities here on the forum: healthunlocked.com/strength...
And feel free to - as Adriene says - “find what feels good”, meaning if your knees feel too sensitive, amend that Child’s Pose. And if you find full planks are the stuff of nightmares, rather do half planks than full ones. Do whatever feels right to get the maximum enjoyment from these sessions. And definitely get creative with props.
Upwards, crow-wards and down dog-wards another months practice!
(Save this post to get notified of any updates from everyone here on the mat.)
Happy working out everyone!
