It’s been a busy week and I’m ready for a slowed down pace kind of weekend. I’m so excited to have had the opportunities to teach many more yoga classes than expected over the past 2 weeks. With coming close to completing YTT (and the teaching evaluation coming up), everything I’ve learned, creating my own sequences and simply being at peace on the mat, all I want to do is yoga. So, I’ve had to make a conscious effort to do a variety of workouts. I’m not gonna lie. My body is tired (in a good/strong way). I’m grateful for the convenience of having an elliptical in my home gym and the benefits of having effective no-impact cardio workouts. Tips for a calorie burning, heart pumping elliptical workout: Apply enough resistance so that you’re pushing and pulling through each stride. You should feel like you can’t go longer when you step off the machine. Weight should be supported in your legs. Don’t lean on the armrests or the moving handles. Weight should be in your heels, which allows large muscle groups to work harder and gives you the endurance and form for a strong workout. This also helps to prevent the feet from going numb which is often caused by too much weight being placed on your toes. Stand straight with shoulders back and head facing forward. Engage your core. Vary resistance, direction, incline and effort. Use high and low intervals (HIIT). Use the elliptical in a well rounded overall workout plan with variety and balanced workouts. Alternate intervals focusing on pushing and pulling with the upper and lower body. Grab a water bottle and a towel (you’re going to need both) and turn on your favorite playlist. Go!
