I like yoga, I admire Yogi’s for their devotion (especially their toned figures) and think yoga makes you way cooler. But I don’t practice it, in fact I’m pretty much an exercise slouch. There, I admitted it. I like to watch other people doing yoga. #truthhurts
I have a Peleton which is currently serving as a dress caddy and sometimes dries wet towels. I have DVDs, books, kettle bells, access to an amazing work out facility, roller balls, balance balls, an impressive Lululemon wardrobe and yet I still don’t find time to raise my heartbeat.
Then I found a little friend, FEET UP. I found FU through a Instagram ad. It caught my attention because it looked like fun. Sorta like water skiing, only I thought I might be able to do it. It being the FU thing, not water skiing. And guess what, I could. I got up the first time and stretched myself in ways I hadn’t EVER imagined. I felt like Wonder Woman as I did a headstand and let my legs stretch to the side, feeling a natural stretch that put my whole body on point. I love the sturdiness, the simplicity, the options and the empowering feeling I have when using it. Feet Up Rocks!!!!!!!!!
Everyone should have a Feet Up Trainer. It’s a game changer and helps with balance, strength, posture, mindset and toning. It’s not expensive ($169), well built and most importantly, it’s vegan (GIANT SIGH). It comes with a HOW TO poster filled with poses and stretches. The stretching you can do on this little contraption is liberating. It not only feels great, but as your body starts to give way, you feel less uptight. The website has pages of poses and ideas and the Instagram is a fascinating study in human contortion. People have a lot of time on their hands, are very very strong and very determined to out-yoga everyone else. I like scrolling the feed while sipping wine around 9:00 pm.
I’m not promising you’ll feel like Stretch Armstrong immediately,
but keep after it and you’ll be amazed how your body will respond.
So, yogis and wanna be yogis, this little tool is a game changer and fun as hell. I even let my kids do it (supervised). Have some fun, stretch it out, do a head stand (trust me you can do it) and let me know what you think! I have a picture of myself doing it, but it’s not for prime time viewing. In fact, you’ll never find a picture of me on this blog EVAH.
Check out all of the exercises you can do on this simple seat! If you get it in July, you’ll have it in time to admire it for a month or two, start using it in September and be Yoga-Fine by the Holidays!!!!!!!!
learn, laugh & lighten up,
