Do you see something new here ๐ Yes,ย I am self hosting now. After 8 years and 800K page hits, I finally took the plunge and got my own space. It took me a week to configure every thing and get this site up and running. Let me know how it looks because I am really nervous about the new design and everything ๐
Since this is my first post in myย new site, let me start with something I am passionate about. Here’s a video I uploaded on Instagram, mixing things up – Yoga and Plank Variations for a stronger core. ย Anytime – Anywhere – No equipments kind of workout. I love 5 minute plank challenge with variations, each for a 20 sec rep. Side planks, Commando, Knee to Elbow, Cross Plank, Hip Twist, Superman, Spiderman, Jump planks … the lists goes on. You can include any of these, hold for 20 secs and then move on to the next one, for 5 minutes. Sounds easy right! ๐
Remember my clumsy Fallen Angel Pose that I posted few weeks back. After a lot of face-planting and falling over, I finally got it straight ๐
I participated in Fancy Arms February Challenge on Instagram – 7 days, 7 arm balances. Each day the awesome hosts would give a challenge pose orย its variation and all the participants would post their pictures doing the pose. Here’s my collage in all the poses (clockwise)- Tolasana, Fallen Angel, Baby Crow, Side Crow, Flying Lizard, 8 Angle Pose and Koundiyasana
This month I am doing the #stretchRevolution challenge by the amazing @Blogilates (Cassey Ho). I really hope I remain consistent and finish it ๐
Have you set your fitness goals yet?
Congratulations again on self-hosting and the site looks stunning. I so loved your banner and it is so you.
