First of all, I want you to know I am not here to promise you flat belly and tight glutes in 5 days.As a competing athlete myself, I know there is no short cut to a fit and healthy body. It requires a lot of work, dedication, persistence and patience.Of course a good and well balanced diet is required.The exercises in this fitness serie are the ones I have been using myself, and they have been prescribed either by my amazing physiotherapist, shown by my coach or my yoga teacher/book.I have and use the book " Yoga for Runners" I can't recall the author at the moment but I will update it.These exercises can be modify to every individual's need and muscle strength.Please consult your doctor before trying any of these exercises if you have any medical issue.Don't be too harsh on your body, be gentle and persistence.I am working on a fitness project that will allow me video the exercises, how they are conducted and show detailed images, but till when it is final and possible, we will be using images from resourceful websites and books.How To
