Yoga For Your Lifetime Fitness
- A Balancing Act

Yoga is probably one of the best exercises to get into if you want to maintain a beautiful figure even in old age.

There are moves you can do, and while they may look easy, these modified standing yoga poses can be quite challenging. Balancing helps improve posture, strengthen your core, and sharpen your focus.

Breathe into the pose and free yourself from worries. A focused mind and awareness to the present are vital in performing these various balance poses. To start with, here are simple moves to master:

The Leg Lift:
For your starting pose, plant your left foot on the floor and place your left hand on your left hip. Bend your right leg and gently hold your right knee with your right hand.

Keep this up for five full breaths. If you want to take it up a notch, bring your bent leg to the side. Hold for another five breaths, and then bring your leg to the front and place it back down on the floor. Repeat this very same process with your other leg.

The Tree:
For your starting pose, raise your right foot and plant it on your left inner thigh. Bring your hands to prayer position on your chest and hold for five breaths, while maintaining your balance.

To take it up a notch and give yourself a challenge, extend both arms above your head while keeping your prater position. Make sure to keep your shoulders down and away from your ears, and your chest lifted. Allow five full breaths once more, then lower your arms and bent leg, and switch sides.

One Foot with Extended Leg:
To start with, place your hands on your hips and make sure your body is straight, shoulder pulled down, and chest lifted. To up the ante and go a bit further, lift your left leg, and concentrate on keeping the weight on your standing leg. If this is too easy for you, bring your lifted leg higher. Hold for five breaths, then repeat the process with the other leg.

There are also other things you can do. To help you get a sexier rear, follow a smart diet, take a 30-minute daily walk or engage in some other cardio exercise, and do a toning workout in the comfort of your very own home on a regular basis.

Of course, it also helps to gear up. When you’re working out and getting bored, try bringing your mp3 player. Tune in to your favorite music, and exercising won’t seem like any trouble at home.

In fact, you may even look forward your next workout schedule. Be a workout genius with a sports sensor built into your shoes. This can actually be your own personal gym DJ.


The sensor tracks how you run, so it can also choose the songs to match your pace. This mini-trainer also gives you the proper feedback in the form of time, distance, pace, and calories burned, during and after you run. Having all these in your gym bag could actually make exercise seem like playtime.
