this guy's voice is annoying, but it is a very good pace, if you have a full hour to do some yoga.

'power' yoga

cheesy yoga dude "rodney yee". he moves too quickly through all the exercises, but i guess if you're looking for a semi-quick yoga routine, it could work. otherwise, i would look for something a little slower.

this was sorely needed, after this mornings sprint sessions. hopefully my hamstrings, quads, and calves won't be as sore tomorrow as if i hadn't done any of this.

get some abs

my coworker swears this is how you get abs. it seems to have worked:

http://m.gizmodo.com/5709916/4+hour-body-+-six-minute-abs

The Myotatic Crunch

1. Start with arms stretched overhead as high as possible (I overlap my extended hands as if in a diving position). Keep your arms behind or next to your ears for the entire exercise.
2. Lower under control for 4 seconds until your fingers touch the floor, the entire time attempting to extend your hands further away from the ball.
3. Pause at the bottom for 2 seconds, aiming for maximum elongation (picture 3).
4. Rise under control and pause in the upper, fully contracted position for 2 seconds. The arms should not pass perpendicular with the ground.
5. Repeat for a total of 10 repetitions. Once you can complete 10 repetitions, add weight to your hands.


The Cat Vomit Exercise

1. Get on all fours and keep your gaze focused either directly under your head or slightly in front of you. Don't arch your back or strain your neck.
2. Forcefully exhale from your mouth until all air is fully expelled. Your abs should be contracted from this forceful exhale. Full exhalation is necessary to contract the transverse abdominals, and you'll use gravity to provide resistance.
3. Hold your breath and pull your belly button upward toward your spine as hard as you can for a target of 8–12 seconds.
4. Inhale fully through the nose after the 8-12 second hold.
5. Take one breath cycle of rest (exhale slowly out the mouth, inhale slowly through the nose), then repeat the above for a total of 10 repetitions.
