Fitness Friday Fact #71


While at yoga yesterday, my instructor prompted my class to "row our boats."  After some chuckle from my classmates, we all met in navasana (boat pose) and began to swing our arms from left to right.  While maintaining a straight spine and focusing on our ujayii breathing, our cores began to strengthen with each side movement.

Although a yoga position, navasana (boat pose) and its compliment "row your boat" are two incredible core strengthening moves.  By adding either to your fitness routine, your abdominals will not be "up the creek without a paddle."
