lululemon's be ready for anything challenge
Day #22



Challenge #22: Hold downward dog for 5 minutes!

ski like a girl is going to do this.  I'll be the first to admit I lost focus of this challenge for a few days.  Okay, it was a whole week but I was busy watching the Olympics.  Maybe not the best excuse, it's just what happened.  So now I'm back on track and groovin' in my down dog.  This may be a bit tough on my shoulder but I'm gonna give it a try.

Challenge #10: Are you the master of the stairs? Try taking ONLY stairs today!

I did this one!  Stair, stairs, and more stairs.  I was inspired by Apolo Ohno's, How they train video.  After my run and strength training today I did stairs. Lot's of stairs. Ran up and down, hopped up, ran down... Finished up the workout with a pilates class.

Challenge #9: Get a little support from friends and build a human pyramid!

 

The little ski princess and I are heading over to cheer practice.  I think I'll leave the pyramids to the experts! Although I did do these in high school and college.  Earlier today the ski kitties, Breckenridge and Loveland,  piled on top of me for a bit but they are not human (contrary to popular belief) and it was hardly a pyramid.

p.s. This will be fun to try at the mountain this weekend.  A skier pyramid?  I'll bring my camera.  Wanna try?

Day #8

See the world upside down.

Try a headstand or handstand!

 

Head over to Yoga Journal for step by step instructions for both handstand and headstand.

ski like a girl enjoys looking at life from a new perspective.  I should try this every day.  When the little ski princess was 2 or 3 and having a rough time a.k.a.- a major tantrum in the middle of the mall, grocery store...  I used to flip her upside down and instantly everything would be better.

How did it go for you?  Send a picture to skilkeagirl@ymail.com for a future post.  Or send your pic to lululemon.  Have fun!
