Hi all! First up I just want to thank you all SO MUCH for Accepting the Challenge and joining Find Your Balance February! I am so excited to take on this challenge with you guys and I have been overwhelmed by your positive response! I had a few questions so I wanted to give you a quick rundown on a few things.
First, you can do anything you want to satisfy this challenge! As long as it helps you achieve a healthier lifestyle (or maintain a healthy lifestyle), it meets the challenge guidelines. So pick whatever it is you want to do!
Second, you don’t have to check in every day. I want you to aim to commit to your goal every day for the month of February but you only need to check in a minimum of 4 times (once a week!) on the challenge website. Of course the more you check in the better your chances of winning!
Ok, now if your looking for some ideas on how to stay healthy, why not try out yoga? Yoga is such an amazing form of exercise. In fact, if you need to know why yoga is so amazing, why don’t you check out these recent posts from Christine and Nicole.
Ok, now that I’ve convinced you to try out yoga, why not try out this video!? I created this 20 minute yoga-inspired video for flexibility. I shot it in the Whitsundays, Australia and it has the most relaxing backdrop!
Oh did I mention that I had a little helper for this video?
That’s right! My mom! We had such a blast making this video! I hope you find it nice and relaxing. As a side note, we started filming this and in Lover’s Cover which on every previous day had been completely empty but for some reason on this day there was large Italian family that kept walking in front of the camera and staring at us. So we kept having to restart it and finally towards the end it started getting dark so you can only see our silhouettes. I hope you enjoy the video! Let me know what you think!
As a disclaimer, I am not a certified yoga instructor so I recommend this video if you have participated in a live class before. Please remember to consult a physician before beginning this or any other exercise program. You assume all liability by participating in this video.
Readers, do you practice yoga? Where is the prettiest place you have practiced? Have you accepted the challenge yet?

FitBritt

Jillienne @ ChasingRaspberries
January 30, 2014I love all your workout videos but I”m super excited about this one! I’ve been doing yoga on Friday before my long Saturday runs so this will be perfect. 🙂
FitBritt
February 2, 2014Yay! I bet stretching feels so good before those long runs!
Kim
January 30, 2014I could spend all day watching the video and listening to the waves – that sound always relaxes me. I love that your mom did the video with you.
I’m horrible about taking enough time to stretch – I try to when I do workout DVDs but when I run I stretch my calves and that is it.
FitBritt
February 2, 2014I’m pretty bad too so I try to dedicate full workouts to just stretching! I love the sound of waves!
Nicole
January 30, 2014Such beautiful photos!! I love that you did the video with your mom. You ladies always look so cute together, and you two look SO MUCH alike!
FitBritt
February 2, 2014Haha! Thanks! We had so much fun making it!

FitBritt
