Full StoryHow to Prevent Wrist Pain in Yoga Class
When teaching yoga, one common complaint coming from my students is wrist pain. This makes sense since many poses involve putting your body weight into your hands and wrists, which tend to be weak areas. I will say that as you continue to practice these poses, the muscles surrounding your wrists strengthen decreasing your pain. Unless you have a wrist injury, I usually recommend that my students do the poses until their wrists feel slightly sore, and then have them change into a modified version of the pose. Here are my recommendations. Posture How to Prevent Wrist Pain Down Dog Instead of placing your palms flat on the floor, make fists with your hands, or place your forearms on the mat, coming into Quarter Dog .

Full StoryHarley Pasternak Is Always on the Run
I was lucky enough to talk to celeb trainer Harley Pasternak , who shared with me a great tip that seems perfect for the weekend. Harley says that the singular, most important piece of fitness advice he can offer someone is, “get a great pair of running shoes.” On top of that, Harley says that you should always be wearing them, always. “Wearing a solid pair of running shoes helps put you in the mindset of being active,” says Harley. “Every time you see me, everywhere in the world, I don’t care if I’m wearing dress pants or shorts I always wear my New Balance 993s. Because if I see a flight of stairs I want to be like, all right I’ll take the stairs no problem, because my feet are comfortable.” Listen ladies, I know that wearing your running shoes 24/7 is not always an option; I think most would agree that even the coolest pair of kicks are not the best way to set off your LBD . So while I might not be wearing them all the time, I do get what Harley is saying. I keep a pair of running shoes in my file cabinet at work so I can take a walk or head to the gym during my work day
