I'm gonna be that person right now. You know the one that reminds you that there's only 90-something days to get your act together before the New Year. And by act, I mean your health and fitness, of course.

If you've been struggling with that, and you have no plan on how to stop struggling, don’t worry. I've got a plan. I'm going to send out weekly emails with quick tips for you to improve your health and fitness.

I promise to keep them short and sweet. I promise to write them from a place of service.

Why? Because I'm really serious about your health and fitness. I really believe I can help you workout consistently by the end of the year.

You in? Hope so.

First tip: Step away from your desk and take a stretch break with me to increase your spinal flexibility and improve your posture. Tap below to see my appearance on Fox 5 DC’s Lion Lunch Hour with Erin Como and Marissa Mitchell.

STANDING CAT COW

While standing, bend your knees a bit and place your hands on your knees. Inhale and arch your back and drop your head for cat pose. Exhale and drop your belly and lift your head for cow pose. 

MOUNTAIN POSE WITH BACK BEND

Stand with feet firmly planted, inhale and lift your arms. Exhale and cactus your arms for a slight backbend.

DANCERS POSE

From mountain pose, grab the inside of your right foot with your right hand and lift your foot up towards the ceiling. Be sure to engage your abdominals and find a focus point to stay steady.

TREE POSE

Place your right foot on your left ankle, calf, or inner thigh and bring your hands behind for a gentle backbend.

STANDING CAMEL POSE

Stand with feet firmly planted and hip-distance apart. Place your hands on your lower back and push your hips forward. Inhale and as you exhale begin to look behind you. Make sure that your elbows do not splay outward. Keep them in line with your legs. If you can see the wall behind you, you can walk your hands down your legs. Be sure to keep pushing the hips forward.
