Can
Yoga Stop the Clock?
Foreword
by Kathleen Daelemans
I could have a 20 year old
figure, 8 minute abs, buns of steel, tight triceps and rock
hard quads if only I had the discipline to do the
2 Minute Total Body Work Out, the 11 Exercises to Flat Abs,
the 10 Best Arm Exercises and the Anti-Aging Yoga in Your
Living Room workouts I've been meaning to try.
Or would I? I'm a sucker for these quickie workouts. I love
to read about them. The articles make them all sound so
doable and fun, so easy and accessible, so no sweat and
so no brainer they almost inspire me to get up and
give them a whirl. But I don't. And haven't. Until now.
My new-week's resolution is to try some of these quickie
workouts.
Over promising means under delivering in my case so I'm
not scheduling a week's worth of Mini Workouts To Total
Body Perfection. Instead, I'm starting with Prevention
Magazine's Stop-the-Clock Yoga. Put the breaks on aging
with these 8 moves to help you look and feel younger.
If you're in need of a little motivation too, join me. I'm
committing to do this workout once this week. In my basement
while I watch Meredith, Matt, Anne and Al yak it up about
the day's news. I'll post my progress on the forums
under the thread, Stop the Clock Yoga. If I like
it, I'll renew my commitment. If I don't, I'll try something
else. If you know of a quickie workout you'd like to share,
post it on the forums at chefkathleen.com.

Put the breaks
on aging with these 8 moves to help you look and feel
younger
By
Marianne McGinnis
Do this simple, 30-minute
routine, developed by Deborah Matza, RN, MPH, a yoga instructor
at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan, three times
a week. Perform the poses in the order listed.
PROPS:
You'll need several pillows,
a wall, and a nonslip surface.
BREATHING:
Use your breath to lead you into and out of each pose,
moving at a relaxed pace. Breathe deeply through your
nose, imagining you have a wide elastic band around your
waist. When you inhale, expand the band in all directions—front,
sides, and back. As you exhale, pull the band back in.
