The Slimnastics Workout for Warriors

Sunflower Flow

Recover with five Sunflowers. Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width apart towards the long edge of your mat. Bend the knees so that the knees line up over the ankles, and open the arms out to the sides and sweep them towards the floor. Straighten the legs to standing, and sweep the arms overhead. Bend knees again at 90 degrees, and sweep the arms down towards the floor hinging at the hips. Picture your fingertips drawing the edges of a sunflower, and repeat eight times to let the heart rate slow down and catch your breath.

A big thanks to Nikki for the sample workout! Anyone else going to have to work up to that toe touch? —Erin
