Keeping Up with Yoga by Integrating with Morning Warm-Up

Since I am not a yoga enthusiast (although I know the benefits), I do try to incorporate yoga poses where possible.  So, I have added a "rise & shine" energizing routine from Yoga Journal (October, 2010) which includes the following postures:
  • Upward Salute
  • Standing Forward Bend
  • Downward-Facing Dog
  • Three-Legged Do Pose with hip open
  • Low Lunge
This is done after I do the TT Warm-Up, which includes:
  • Jumping Jacks (20)
  • Prisoner's Squat (20)
  • Step Over (10)
  • Duck Under (10)
  • Leg Swings (20)
  • Push Ups (10)
When I am motivated, I fit in another 20 minute yoga (primarily stretching) sessions in the afternoons.
