The days are longer, the weather is warmer, and you’re 100 percent ready to beat the heat and throw on a bathing suit. While it’s true that every single body is a bikini body, no matter what, sometimes a little exercise in the summer is just what you need to up your mood, energy, and confidence. And if you’re looking to increase your strength and flexibility this summer, you don’t necessarily have to clock countless hours in the gym in order to achieve your goals. Yes, you read that correctly, there is another way to get stronger that doesn’t require a super-heavy set of dumbbells. One word for you, friends: Yoga.
“There is a dynamic process that occurs when a muscle is both stretched and strengthened during the same exercise,” says Alanna Zabel, yoga instructor to the stars and founder of AZIAM. “The muscle fibers and connective tissue elongate, while the added resistance creates tension that increases collagen fibers to maintain a lean and toned appearance.” | via
