Beat Stress, Weigh Less: Calorie-Burning Yoga Workout

Sumo Warrior

Targets: Shoulders, abs, butt, quads, and calves

Start in warrior II: Stand with feet hip-width apart, arms extended out to sides, palms down, then lunge with left leg out to left side, toes pointing left, knee over ankle and right leg straight. Turn head to left.
Pivot on heels so that toes of both feet are turned out slightly, look forward, and sink into a wide squat.
Lift both heels off mat and do 3 pulses, lowering butt 2 inches toward heels and rising again. MAKE IT EASIER: Lift only one heel, or keep both heels on mat.
Pivot feet to return to warrior II, this time facing right: Point right toes toward right and left toes forward, leaning body weight over bent right leg and straightening left leg as you look right. That's 1 rep.
Do 6 reps.
