That number one stunna right there is dancehall queen Shisha. She blew away the competition at the 2007 European chamionships with her on point regaee moves and her amazing flexible body. Homegirl is one of my idols and I wish I could move like her. Now don't get me wrong I have rhythm but I for damm sure am not that flexible!!!
One of the most important aspects of physical fitness and the most undervalued is flexibility. One of the major reasons people (ie ME) sleep on flexbility is:
1) No one can see how flexible you are.
2) You have to be reasonable flexible to do some of the exercises and if you can't well you will just get frustuated and not do it
3) People look at stretching, yoga, or pilates as time consuming, boring, and uncomfortable.
However, there are so many benefits to infusing flexibililty into your routine. I am going to use a yoga CD my friend Sam gave me to jumpstart my routine.
Yoga is a great way to increase your flexibility.
Yoga uses positions that interact with various joints of the body including those joints you neve really use with your usual workout routine- It increases lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons – and the well-researched yoga positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body.
- It detoxifies you. Yoga gently stretches muscles and joints as well as massages the various organs, and it ensures the optimum blood supply to various parts of the body. Which helps flush out the toxins
- Yoga tones your muscles – Muscles that have become flaccid, weak or slothy are stimulated repeatedly to shed excess flab with these intense poses.
So get down on the floor and do the upward dog with NO APOLOGIES ;)
