Get Rid of Your Middle Bulge With Yoga Burn

How it Works
The secret to the success of the Yoga Burn Program lies in what’s referred to as Dynamic Sequencing. Dynamic Sequencing is the way in which the yoga burn program teaches you how to properly perform each movement and then continues to adapt and increase the challenge at the precise moment your body starts to get used to the routine. This forces your body to change and adapt, which in turn, helps to build a shapely, feminine body that not only looks better, but feels better too! The unique 3 phase program guides you through a series of different videos that are laid out in a way that will keep your body and mind guessing to ensure you do not get bored, or hit a plateau. Each video is 45 minutes long and can be done anytime, anywhere. You are encouraged to complete three 45 minute videos a week, with the option to complete a bonus video lesson which is provided. It’s highly recommended to fit the bonus video in if you can find the time, as the bonus video is focused on increasing your emotional well being, self-confidence, and overall happiness. I’m sure you’ll agree that confidence and happiness are two of the sexiest, most attractive attributes a woman can possess. Learn more about Yoga Burn’s 3 phase program below.

Phase 1

Foundational Flow

This phase is called the foundational flow because that is exactly what we will be building: A solid Yoga Foundation. The first four weeks are designed to teach you the foundation of a strong yoga practice and of course, start to shape long, lean muscles while having fun! Both beginners and advanced yoga students can and will benefit from this unique set of sequences. You will learn how to execute proper form and build a strong “mind-body” connection so you can call on the muscles you need once we move into the more challenging videos. This initial foundation is the key to progressing through the next two phases safely and effectively.

Phase 2

Transitional Flow

Phase 2 is dedicated to teaching you how to combine the moves we’ve learned in Phase 1 into a smooth flow that will allow you to burn more calories and get that heart rate up! By now you will be more comfortable with our basic moves, so let’s mix it up and keep your body guessing to force it to adapt and change for the better!! Each video in this phase focuses on large muscles groups. The 3 workout videos are: Upper body, Lower Body, and Core. We will work on our transitions from one pose to the next. Learning how to link poses together feels really good, and allows you to focus on the present moment rather than giving the mind time to wander…it’s like a moving meditation!

Phase 3

Mastery Flow

Get ready to kick it up a notch ladies! It’s time to combine all that we have learned from the past 2 Phases into a scorching hot sequence that will fire up your metabolism and transform your body in ways you may have never imagined possible with yoga!

The layout of each video is slightly different than the previous videos. There is more repetition of each pose to really encourage the desired muscle to fatigue. Also, you will be guided through a combination of upper and lower body compound movements. These are designed to get the most done in the shortest amount of time, and the muscles we are going to target will help give your body that sexy hourglass shape.

How Well Your Balance is Indicates Health

Slim Healthy SexyDid you know that how well you can balance on one leg is a good indicator of your physical and metal health? The older you are the more likely you will have issues with your balance.

When a toddler or child falls, he or she usually shakes it off and keeps moving. But when an older adult falls, there are often consequences. Broken bones limit mobility. They can also lead to a downward health spiral. Each year, thousands of older Americans die as a result of breaking a hip. Broken bones and head injuries can knock confidence, create a fear of falling, and undermine independence.

As we age

As we age, cells in the vestibular system die off,

A number of changes that come with aging can affect our balance.

  • Inside our ears is a balance center called the vestibular system that detects where our body is in space. Are we upright or lying flat; are we standing on our feet or performing a handstand?
    The vestibular system is connected to centers in the brain that also control our balance. When the vestibular system and brain determine that we’re about to fall over, the brain directs the body to take corrective action. Maybe we twist back upright so we don’t fall. Maybe we’re too far off center to avoid falling, so our arms and hands stretch out to brace our fall.

    As we age, cells in the vestibular system die off. This affects how accurately we detect our position in space. That, in turn, affects our ability to correct our position. For example, if we 51IHFee6qoL._SL160_start to tilt to the right and the vestibular system doesn’t detect this quickly, it becomes harder for the brain to prevent falling to the right.

  • Our sight, the ability to focus and see things clearly, diminishes with age. So do depth perception, night vision and sensitivity to contrast. Eye problems can impair, blur or distort vision. The loss of these visual cues compromises balance. Corrective lenses or surgery may help.
  • Blood pressure can dip suddenly when you stand up, causing dizziness, lightheadedness, blurry vision, even fainting. Standing up slowly — sitting first on the side of the bed when you rise, for example — may help.
  • We lose a lot of muscle mass and strength as we age. We also lose power — a function of strength and speed — which affects balance, too. If you start to trip, power helps you react swiftly. Exercise can help you rebuild strength and power, or at least slow the pace of decline.
  • Our reflexes and coordination slow with age. Thus, you may be more likely to stumble — and take more time to react when you do.

Many health problems can interfere with balance. They include, but are not limited to, arthritis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.

Medications may also increase your risk of falls. They can cause blurred vision, dizziness, lightheadedness and drowsiness. Some medications may damage the inner ear, spurring balance disorders.

Along with regular aerobic exercise and weight training, balance exercises are important as we get older. Such exercises really can help you improve your balance. (Source: http://www.askdoctork.com/why-does-balance-decline-with-age-201306054928)

I’ve noticed a balancing problem with my then 79 year-old mother. One day we were walking and I witnessed her doing the “old-person shuffle.”

Mom

“Why are you walking like that?” I said horrified to see my mother actually show signs of aging.

“My brain isn’t communicating with my feet,” said my mother.

I never thought my mother would have a problem with her walking or balance. She was a person who was more comfortable walking in the woods picking  mushrooms than she was shopping in a mall. Mystified that she said her brain wasn’t communicating to her feet I decided to research and see if there was a way to improve my mother’s balance. While staying active physically at any age it is also important to keep the mind active. I’ve noticed people who retire suddenly decline physically and mentally in the supposed “Golden Years.” And I’ve seen active seniors in their 80s playing pickleball against people in their 60s; the 80+ year-olds just as fast moving and quick thinking as the 60 year olds.

20160530_112042In my observations, seniors that take care of their health or more likely to maintain good balance. They eat well, limit their alcohol, skip the sugary snacks and will walk or engage in other physical activities.

The above activities also provide social connections; very important for mental health in seniors.

Some basic balance exercises you can do anytime include:

  • One-legged stands: Stand on one foot for 30 seconds, or longer, then switch to the other foot. You can do this while brushing your teeth or waiting around somewhere. In the beginning, you might want to have a wall or chair to hold on to.
  • Heel rises: While standing, rise up on your toes as far as you can. Then drop back to the starting position and repeat the process 10 to 20 times. You can make this more difficult by holding light hand weights.
  • Heel-toe walk: Take 20 steps while looking straight ahead. Think of a field sobriety test.
  • Sit-to-stand: Without using your hands, get up from a straight-backed chair and sit back down 10 to 20 times. This improves balance and leg strength.

20160607_135123Just as the body needs physical exercise to keep fit, the brain needs mental exercise to stay active and alive. Mental exercise stimulates the brain, often providing long-lasting positive effects regarding thinking and reasoning skills, memory and processing speed.

Playing games such as cards, mah jong, and hobbies are a great way to keep a senior’s mind sharp.

Depending on the seniors interests and abilities, the following are examples of possible crafts or hobbies they may enjoy.

  • Drawing
  • Painting
  • Knitting
  • Playing music
  • Scrapbooking
  • Woodworking
  • Mosaics using tiles or colored paper
  • Photography
