There are so many to choose from, and sometimes it really depends on the individual and their goal. But if I could pick just one, Id say the kettlebell swing. The beauty of the exercise is you can do it anywhere and it burns more calories than sprinting. Tara Stiles, the founder of Strala Yoga notes that seated meditation is most valuable to her. All the poses are movements that provide great benefits as long as you are moving with ease, instead of moving tense. Finding a moving meditation is a great way to practice instead of performing poses. Beginning with seated meditation helps my body to relax and my mind to calm and focus and intuition to take the wheel.

LA Fitness to open three new gyms
Im saying this as I sit at my standing desk because Im just feeling a little too weary to stand all the livelong day, attributing my feeling of general malaise to heat. And yes, if I still feel like this in a day or so, Ill reconsider my self-diagnosis (but then again, the heat isnt going anywhere). Twice in the last 48 hours, Ive seen people I want to hand a pair of sunglasses to, put a water bottle in their sweaty little palms, and slather sunscreen over their necks, faces, and backs of their legs. The first was a man oh, maybe in his 50s or so with a thick curly beard, no hat, no sunglasses, no water. He was running down the non-shady side of a street at around 2 p.m.

Fitness Tip of the Day: Heed the heat warnings
The industry’s memberships and revenue have flat-lined since 2011, and while growth is expected within the next few years, it will be at a slower rate than before. This, along with the growth of competition from yoga studios, Zumba classes, and the convenience of home workouts threatens the future of bigger gyms. Yet Runyon doesn’t feel threatened; he seems to relish the challenge. “Blockbuster got beat by a better business model in Redbox and Netflix, so we must be prepared to see what’s around the corner … Our focus going forward will be on outside club activities than inside activities,” he said. To extend their reach, Anytime Fitness has created an online health guide, anytimehealth.com, focusing on meal planning, tracking workouts, and sharing members’ fitness successes with others.
