Yoga Upload with Maris Aylward - Do you find shoulder stand pose uncomfortable? This supported inversion is a great alternative to the traditional shoulder stand (Sarvangasana). We use blocks (or a stack of books) to elevate the hips. That way, there is no need to use the upper body and arms to support the weight of the lower body.
In this variation, we also make sure the neck is safe. We are not overstretching the back of the neck nor putting a lot of pressure on it. You will be able to relax more in this mild inversion. Use this as a substitute for shoulder stand if you find you are not able to breathe properly in the traditional pose.
Experiment with different heights and positioning of the block/s or stack of books. Make sure you feel stable and the edge is not digging into your low back. You want this to feel good! :) Upper body positioning is similar to Bridge pose. Move the shoulder blades towards each other and slide them down your back. The effect would be a slight puffing out of the chest, lengthening of the back of the neck, and keeping the shoulders away from the ears. Make sure the back of the neck feels good. Keep some space between the back of the neck and the floor even with the chin slightly tucked in. You can explore different variation in the lower body too. You can stay with knees bent and knees stacked over the hips. Or straighten the legs up and lightly activate the feet.
Try holding for at least 1 minute. Do this at the end of the day if your legs and feet are tired.

A workout that you like and that is fun is one that will probably work best for you. If you are doing a workout that fits your needs, it will be much easier to stick to the plan. This article provides you with the advice you need in order build a great exercise program.
Try playing music to motivate you during your exercise routine. All cultures enjoy music. It speaks to us at a basic level, and the right music can be an excellent addition to your exercise regime. Music really gets you into the exercise and makes it feel more like a night at the club than a boring workout. This means you may just spend a little bit of extra time working out and burning those extra calories.
Working out is more fun if you can get some of your pals to do it with you. Pleasant conversation can make a long work out session fly by. You will be enjoying the time exercising instead of focusing on how much you hate it. It's also a good way to keep up with your friends during a busy period. Working out can be really fun if you are with friends.
Consider purchasing a fitness video game. Playing a workout video game feels more like entertainment than exercise. You will be so focused on having fun and doing well in your game that you will forget about the fact that you are engaging in a healthy workout. When you are really absorbed into your game, you will not feel as tired. If you keep your mind focused on other things, you will not feel fatigued as quickly.
Buy some exercise clothes to gather inspiration for your workouts. Invest in a workout wardrobe that you feel confident wearing. Whether you're looking for jogging pants, tank tops or sports bras, you can find workout clothes in a wide variety of sizes, colors and styles. They can look great and be fun. Show off your unique style! Be outrageous and unique. If you feel good in what you are wearing, and if you have an assortment of outfits, then you will want to show them off at the gym.
Doing the same routine day after day will get boring after a while. Any time your exercise routine becomes boring, it will feel less important to you. That means a million other things will seem to get in the way of getting it done. Add excitement to your exercise routine by changing it up frequently. Following this advice will help you appreciate the benefits of exercise and help you maintain a healthy fitness routine and lifestyle.
It's a good idea to reward yourself whenever you accomplish one of your fitness goals. This is the perfect motivation to stick with things. The rewards can be modest, like a new pair of shoes or a dessert you have been craving. When trying to think of an appropriate reward, you have to make sure it is something that you will really anticipate and will not have trouble obtaining. You must keep your motivation high as you move forward.
Many people think exercise is always a pain, but it can be lots of fun. If you want to learn more about how you can make exercise fun, read the following tips.
