Is it just me or does the time seem to move more quickly during the month of December? Here we are already to start the third week of the yoga challenge! I’m so happy that those of you who are participating have been plugging away, I’m excited to see who is going to win the Champion Giveaway at the end of next week!
These past two weeks our videos have concentrated on building strength, as that is what most of you asked for on Facebook, but in this last week we are going to spend some time stretching out them hamstrings! This weeks video is a tiny bit longer (but still under 4 minutes), and would be best viewed after doing the prior to videos to ensure your body is warmed up and ready to stretch. Remember, your muscles are like rubber bands, if you try to stretch them when they are cold you risk injury, so make sure you are warmed up before attempting this, or any other stretchy goodness 😉
I hope you’ve enjoyed the videos and that you’ve found them helpful for completing this challenge (or just to get a little yoga in, in general). I’m trying to determine a video schedule that will start in the new year. I’m not sure what it will look like yet (it will certainly involve more than just yoga), but I’m planning to make it a weekly thing so stay tuned for that!
One of the Champion pieces I’ve been wearing throughout the challenge videos is the The Show Off max support sports bra in Steeze Pink.
One of the things I really like about this bra is that it is made to be worn with a racerback, even though from the front it looks like a more traditional type bra.
Another thing I really like, thought you can’t see it is that it has hook and eye closure in the back. You still have to put it on over your head, but unlike most sports bras, you don’t feel like you are wrestling into it. You can easily slip it on and then secure it in place by doing up the hooks in the back. Anyone who has ever owned, or tried to put on one of Lululemon’s Ta Ta Tamer bras will know what I mean when I say that while the girls are held in place in The Show Off, you don’t feel like you’ve lost all mobility of your torso. It’s actually comfortable, and you also don’t feel like you have wrapped a compression bandage around your torso. My fellow busty girls will know what I’m talking about. It’s a nice change not to feel like I’m being strangled by my underwear. This is a bra I definitely plan to buy more of when the time comes for some new sports bras.
I’d like to thank Champion once again for sponsoring this challenge, and providing the prize giveaway of one of their awesome sports bras to the most active participant. Remember, you need to check in on this post in order to be in the running, so go get your yoga on this week and we’ll see who our big winner is next Saturday! Good luck!!
