7 STRETCHES THAT WILL TAKE YOU FROM TIRED TO BRIGHT-EYED

Hi Everyone - Happy Tuesday! it's always a good idea to start your day off by stretching - here is a really good article on 7 stretches that will take you from tired to bright-eyed in no time.

Why is it that we torture ourselves by hitting "snooze" multiple times every, single, day?

Does it really make us feel more awake after we get those measly 10 additional minutes of sleep? And are we actually even sleeping quality sleep when we know that darn beep, beep, beep … is going to go off at any second? We think no.


That's why we're here to suggest a new approach. Why not take these 10 precious minutes and do something more productive with them, something like a quick, easy yoga routine -- a perfect stretching workout for women -- that will help you look and feel great every day.

We sat down with Kimberly Fowler, owner of YAS Fitness Centers and author of "The No Om Zone" and asked her to create a mini yoga series that would help wake you up, put pep in your step and sharpen your mind. This combination of moves will get your body going by working out kinks, getting your blood flowing and it'll give you precious time for yourself -- to help you set your intentions for the day.

The best part is, you don't need a mat, snazzy workout clothes or anything. Just you, the floor and these poses that you'll aim to hold for 45 seconds to one minute each.

So are you ready to try this -- tomorrow? We are. It's sure to be much less annoying to our partners who may not have the same affinity for that darn snooze button.

See the yoga stretching moves that'll kick off your day -- now.
