Summer's Over, Now What?

Fitness | 2016 Goals

Only 2 more days left in the year❗😱 With end of year festivities and all the excitement of the season, it's easy to let our routines go...you know, especially those healthy ones🙆.  First, we can't find time to workout, and don't even mention all the holiday parties and great food, so there goes our healthy eating & balanced diets.🍍🍌🌱  I really try to maintain, and stay on top of it all year long!  So as this year comes to an end, I'm already looking towards the next, which is fast approaching, and reiterating my Healthy Lifestyle Goals. 

Spicy Greens | Creating a Better Me - October Challenges Review

In October I undertook 2 challenges in line with my journey towards a Natural Lifestyle which I spoke about in my Green Smoothies & Spicy Yoga post last month.  I am so happy that I selected both these challenges as they were so complementary, and became seamlessly incorporated in my regular routine.

The Challenge bug has apparently bit me, and hard!!!  I'm currently doing 2 challenges this month, October, and recently completed a Challenge in September.  All 30 Day Challenges.

Power Up!! - DYY 14 Day Power Yoga Challenge: Week 1 Re-Cap

Lately, I've been practicing yoga almost everyday.  For about the last 2 months, I've been meeting myself on my mat for 5-6 days each week.

DO YOU YOGA 14 Day Power Yoga Challenge

I follow a few yoga Sites and keep with them on YouTube, IG or Blogs and I'm always looking out for their free online offers.  I like to incorporate new sequences and classes to keep my routine fresh, and to ensure my body doesn't become too accustomed, so that I always see results.  The freebies also  help me avoid seasonal intense workouts and keep up with my workouts year round to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I recently completed 2 cycles (Beginner and Intermediate/Advanced) of a 21 Day Yoga Challenge offered in June by My Yoga Works.  I totally enjoyed it and it was very rewarding...both times!  You can read about on my Summer Ready Yoga post.

I find yoga to be the most easy and flexible to maintain, and the most rewarding.  Some may think its only for flexible people, but it is not.  Some may think yoga is all about stretching and breathing and not even sweating, but let me assure you, it is not!  And you may even think yoga is easy, ...but I can definitely tell you now, that is is not!

There are so many types of yoga, some may even be just one of the descriptions above only, and others all 3 together, which makes it exciting and interesting.


Which leads me to the exciting news.  Coming up this week, Do You Yoga is offering a free 14 Day Challenge of Power Yoga!

Check out the video below for more details if you're interested, and I hope you choose to join the challenge, you may be surprised by what you can achieve, even if its the first time ever doing yoga.

Summer Ready Yoga

As summer approached I know many of us, self included, up'd our work out game.  Although I regularly work out, something about summer just snaps me into gear and the routines become more intense.
