Instant Energy Yoga In Less Than Ten Minutes!

I found this amazing article in a Natural Health magazine and it really does work.  I used to love to work out.  Now, not so much! In my efforts to become healthy I found that doing these easy yoga positions really does wake me up.  They take about five minutes to complete and I am left wanting to exercise.  The want for exercise would not have appeared without these quick and easy moves.

Cat/ Cow Position

Keep head up arch and curl (as seen above) 10 times each.

Cat position exhale - Curl position inhale

More positions after the break.

Now I must say you can find the article (here: http://www.naturalhealthmag.com/fitness/instant-energy)
