Yoga sun salutations offer a complete low-impact workout for your body. Start with four rounds (right and left) and work up to twelve. Sun salutations combine resistance training (traditionally weight training) with cardiovascular training. You can adjust the pace to suit your fitness level; a faster pace produces a good cardio workout while a slower pace is more meditative and grounding. Done properly, sun salutations stimulate and condition all systems in the body. They strengthen all major muscles; improve balance and flexibility, oxygenate the blood; strengthen the heart and ventilate the lungs; improve digestion; and if breath is coordinated with the movements, improve memory. This says nothing about how they trim your waistline or bring an ageless quality to your skin. Think of the money you will save when you no longer have to invest in skincare products promoted in books like “The Wrinkle Cure” or those of similar ilk. Time is a wasting. Get down to your local yoga studio and observe the postures and breath coordination and wake up to your dream body. YouTube has plenty of demos; search “sun salutation” or “yoga sun salutation.” Beware however as YouTube makes no guarantee that the performer is certified.
