Self taught

Thursday, July 1st, 2010


While no one can deny the exceptional powers and strength of instructor-led fitness classes, sometimes you need a little home practice to really get the full effect. DVDs, books and internet how-to’s are great when you want to brush up on your fitness skills from the comfort of your own living room. But after a while, they tend to lose their zing. When you start reciting the video host’s repetitive script and the pages start falling out of your favorite book, you know it’s time for a change. So why not enhance your practice from the very thing you are practicing on—your mat?

Dig this Self-Guided Eco-Friendly Yoga Mat. Here you have 28 popular, physician-certified yoga poses right at the tips of your fingers and toes. No need to pause and peer up at the TV screen or flip a page. With the self-instructional mat, you can “tune in, chill out and shape up all at the same time.” So why stop at Yoga? Self-Guided Eco-Friendly Mats are also available for your Pilates and Ab workouts. No wonder we haven’t seen hide nor hair of Mr. Billy Blanks in a long while.

Keep it clean

The good news: Your 7:00 am yoga class gives you that relaxed, calmed and replenished feeling you need to start your day off on the right foot.

The bad news: Your foot is causing your yoga mat to give you dirty looks.

Are you finding unsightly streaks and smears on your mat after a few too many sun salutations? There is an easy solution: one part laundry detergent with three parts water. Mix it, spray it and wipe it down.

A clean mat is a happy mat.
