Feeling sleepy? Hit your mat before you hit snooze.These three yoga-inspired moves warm up your whole body, from your wrists to your glutes. Try it in the morning to ignite your day or before a workout to get your blood flowing. Warm up with five forward bends. Follow that up by moving into plank, then push your tailbone skyward while trying to get your forearms on the floor (Extended Puppy Pose) then return to plank.That's one rep. Do nine more.
Now, turn up the heat.
Start in Plank Pose. Take three counts to pull your right knee toward your right elbow and three to return to plank. Do 10 reps. After 10, stretch back into Downward-Facing Dog as you lift your right leg to the ceiling. Return to Plank. Turn your right leg out from the hip, bringing your knee in for three counts to your right elbow and returning to Plank for three. Do 10 reps. Stretch back into Downward-Facing Dog as you lift your right leg to the ceiling. From Plank, draw your knee to your nose then push your leg toward the ceiling as you return to Downward-Facing Dog. Do 10 reps. Repeat the whole sequence on the left.
