Lulu Lemon posted a few new pieces today. I am not overly impressed and I feel like their designs are pretty basic. However, their clothes are inarguably very comfortable and fit well for many body types. I just think these designs are basic and nothing innovating.
1/ St. Moritz Jersey
This long sleeve was engineered using moisture-wicking and lightweight Merino Wool Jersey. This wonder fabric helps to keep us warm when we get cold and helps to cool us down when things heat up (you won’t want to take it off). We added thumbholes to this base layer to help keep wrists warm and make layering easy.
2/ St Moritz Sweater
When the snow starts to fall we can’t wait to get outside (although we do love a good glass of wine and a crackling fire). With that in mind, we designed a sweater we knew would be good for both. Breathable and moisture-wicking Merino Wool joins forces with a soft Sweater Knit fabric to give us the best of both worlds. The raglan sleeves and built-in stretch help to reduce bulk and give us the freedom to make moves (on and off the mountain).
3/ St Moritz Jacket
Soft and fuzzy Fleece, water- and wind-resistant Cire fabric and a double-layer collar make this jacket a triple threat against winter chill (and cabin fever). The extra fuzzy arms feel incredible (they are out-of-this-world soft) and help to keep us cozy on the way to and from yoga.
4/ Chalet Keep Your Neck Cozy
Our chunky knit neckwarmer is made with a blend of organic cotton and rayon derived from bamboo and cashmere (yes – it is as awesome as it sounds). This soft and breathable infinity scarf makes it easy to get wrapped up in warming up. Editor’s note: they had me at chunky knit neckwarmer.
The Marmot ROM jacket looks like it would be a great jacket to use if you are active. ROM stands for Range of Motion. This jacket is a softshell and gore windstopper fabrics create a comfortable, breathable garmet that also is suppose to be windproof and water resistant. www.marmot.com
Need some Instagram motivation for your daily yoga practice? I recently started following Laura Sykora on Instagram and she is beautiful, inspiring, motivating and very real. She even post bloopers of her attempts at some poses. This shows us that even though she is very talented at what she does she isn't super human. I love that!
Vitamin Shoppe just posted this exclusive flavor of muscle milk on their Instagram. Red Velvet! I don't know about you but I'm dying to have this in my regular supplement stash! Yum!
This woman has books, websites and even had a TV show and she isn't verified! What gives twitter?
Congrats to fitness model Vida Guerra who is coming out with her own supplement line. She announced today that it will be ready in 15 days.
Looks like the beautiful Kim Kardashian is on a health kick. Look at what she posted as her dinner. Sounds yummy!
Pilar Sanders is at it again reminding us why women who workout are sexy. Check out her abs! Go pilar!
Check Out my new pill case that I can store my pills in for breakfast lunch dinner and bedtime. I bought it on eBay for under five dollars including shipping.
There are many variations of planks that I do but I want to talk about the basic plank. A plank is one of the best exercises that help with core strength. In sum the stronger your core is the less back pain you have, the more stable you will be and the better your waistline will be. Make sure that your elbows are directly under your shoulders. Keep core tight (that means pull the belly button into the spine). Evenly distribute wait on right and left feet and keep your back flat (don't stick your butt high in the air).
I always advice 3 sets of these guys and always try and hold as long as you can. I try not to set specific times, but each time you try a plank try and hold it for longer than your last. You need to continually challenge yourself to see change.
