Yoga for Strength Challenge - Day #1
Welcome to your 7-Day Yoga for Strength Challenge!
You will have 7 classes to complete for this challenge. For the ultimate challenge, complete one class per day.
In this challenge we are focusing on getting stronger!! We’ll be doing this by practicing challenging yoga sequences and most importantly using repetitions aka reps! Reps are the number of times you perform a movement/exercise. By repeating movements, you challenge your muscles, which over time will build strength and endurance.
We’re going to be focusing on working different muscle groups of the body each class. These include:
Legs (quads, hamstrings, glutes)
Arms (deltoids, triceps, biceps, forearms)
Core (abs, obliques, pelvic floor etc)
Here is our schedule:
Day 1: Legs
Day 2: Arms
Day 3: Core
Day 4: Legs
Day 5: Arms
Day 6: Core
Day 7: Full Body Workout!!!
So now you know what you’ll be doing, here are a few things to remember throughout this challenge:
REST: You can rest at any time you need throughout the classes. Pause the video or just skip parts if you need. You may not be able to complete all the movements the first time around and that’s all good – it is meant to be challenging, just give what you can a go. Remember you can always revisit this challenge and do it a second or third time to really master it.
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY: If something isn’t feeling good or hurts, come out of the pose or modify it to suit you. Pay particular attention to engaging (switching on) the muscles around your joints (eg knees, shoulders) as this will help to stabilise your joints and avoid injuries.
BREATHE: Don’t hold your breath! If something is challenging and you start to hold your breath, ease off or take a break so you can return to a steady breath)
