BenchFit Workout and Tapas

Have you sampled Tapas? Tapas are little bites of food you can enjoy with beverages, and my best recollection is an entire meal in Barcelona, Spain, which was served as an endless array of appetizer sized plates with sauteed mushrooms, shrimp and garlic, crostini, cheese, grilled squash-and many more dishes,the delight was in the variety. We seek variety to engage our senses, and become stale with repetition. And so it goes with exercises! The 20 minute BenchFit Workout airs on TV in San Diego, 9:30 am,ch 19 and 24, T and Thurs ams, starting August 11-and the truth is  I always “mix in” a few other elements-like Tapas-when leading classes to keep it fresh.

So I offer some BenchFit Tapas-Mini Exercises that you can sprinkle into your day with variety and spice. Here is a lengthening-postural stretch, that de-compresses

the front of the hip and lifts the rib cage. I chose the seaside shot to encourage outdoor exercise, and easy breathing, with great fresh air. You can perform this with a park bench, or if indoors, on an arm of a couch or bed. Try holding it 5-10+ seconds per side, and perform 2 reps on your tighter side. Check in for our summer Tapas tips.

Power On!
