Canyon Ranch: Yoga for Strength & Energy

I love watching professionals do yoga. It is such a beautiful, calm and relaxing exercise. It doesn’t even feel like you are exercising, for the most part. Yoga is a fabulous way to stretch your muscles and that is something that I really need to work on along with tightening and toning.

Canyon Ranch is known for its wellness ranch and their diet and wellness programs. Now they are introducing a brand new DVD that will be a perfect introduction into your exercise plan for the New Year.

CANYON RANCH: YOGA FOR STRENGTH & ENERGY

The second fitness DVD from the award-winning resort and wellness brand, Canyon Ranch: Yoga for Strength & Energy debuts on DVD from Acacia on November 20, 2012, featuring two 20-minute yoga workouts to improve your flexibility, lengthen your physique, and invigorate your body. For more than 30 years, people have journeyed to Canyon Ranch to enjoy wellness vacations. Now you can bring the Canyon Ranch experience home with these dynamic workouts designed to support life-long health.

My Thoughts:
Since I sit so much each day writing, I seriously need to stretch and strengthen my muscles. This DVD is a great choice for me! The exercises are easy to follow and while some of them are challenging, I can do most of the routines. I just need to work up to their timing and work on my holds. It is something I can move forward with and I especially love the bonus features on food and lifestyle changes. The stretching sequence is awesome too!

I love the fitness DVD’s from Acacia. They have such an awesome selection for every level and every type of exercise you could want. My next one is going to be one of the dance DVD’s. Those look like fun!
