The goal is to simulate a real yoga studio step-by-step workout with a warm-up, cool down, and even meditation time included. This routine should also provide new options for a well-rounded, full-body practice.
Due to the Wii Fit determining how long you hold each pose, this workout will last about one hour. Because of a pause between poses, those poses are not counted by the system. You will only earn about 35 min on you fit bank.
To warm up:
Balance Game: Lotus Focus - try to focus your gaze on the floor in front of you not the screen and listen to the sound of your breath
Yoga: Deep Breathing
Yoga: Half Moon
Yoga: Sun Salutation
Build up Heat:
Yoga: Downward Facing Dog - the first time you do this, try to make the trainer say that you are putting too much weight on your feet. Really feel the stretch in your hamstrings
Retry Yoga: Downward Facing Dog, perform instead in Plank Pose. That is the upright push-up position where the hips are low and the heels pressing toward the back of the room. Your trainer will tell you that you are putting too much weight on your hands. The goal here is to have a steady horizontal line above the blue line in the final score.
Yoga: Cobra
Build up Heat & Balance:
Yoga: Warrior - Perform instead Warrior 1 with hips and torso face forward, arms reach overhead with palms facing one another. Be sure your hips are square to the front of the balance board.
Retry Yoga: Warrior - Follow instructions and perform Warrior 2 as it is described by the trainer
Retry Yoga: Warrior - this time perform Peaceful Warrior. Following the trainer's instructions into Warrior 2, flip the palm of the front hand to face the ceiling and then windmill the arms gently vertical, keeping your gaze on the front / top palm. This "raises" your spear and gives a nice side stretch along the thigh and torso.
Yoga: Downward Facing Dog
Cool down:
Yoga: Bridge Pose
Yoga: Spinal Twist
This routine will give you more variety than offered by the Wii Trainers.
