20-Minute Workout for Stress Relief

Fitness isn't just about your body, it's about your mind and spirit too. De-stress and get fit in 20 minutes with this fast yoga-meets-martial-arts Budokon workout that targets your abs, arms, and legs. "The slower movement and breathing will restore your calm," creator Cameron Shayne says.

Dancing Half-Moon

Targets: Shoulders, obliques, hips, glutes, thighs

A. Stand with legs wide, toes pointed out slightly, elbows bent, hands in front of chest as if holding a ball. Lower into a plié squat, keeping knees above ankles.

B. Slide deeper into squat and shift torso over bent right knee, straightening left leg and forming a large, floating circle with arms over right thigh; hold for 3 breaths.

C. Rotate torso to face right thigh, place both hands on ground, straighten right leg, and lift left leg straight up until parallel to ground. Let neck relax and pull shoulders away from ears.

D. Hinge forward more, lifting left leg to make a straight line from head to toe; hold for 3 breaths. Return to start; switch sides and repeat. Do 5 to 10 reps on each side.

Please include the stills with the slides as well as the slide printing. Video only is too restrictive and not always possible. The explanations are not enough. So, I print the slides with the stills for cuing. These i carry with me for work, travel, and all places where video is not available. Thank you! FYI...I'm a foreign missionary from the USA. Computers, internet, video and electricity are not available in all parts of the world.

You can print all the slides together. If you hit the print button that's close to the facebook button and twitter button, then you can hit the print all slides button, and then print.
