I'm so glad you're getting something out of it.

Here are some more ideas to help you through this week:

First - if you'd like a quick energy boost any time of day, one that builds abdominal and back strength, improves your breathing and even warms you up in the middle of Febrrrruuuuuuuary, try the Abdominal Lifts .

I've also posted this as a new thread challenging the Push Up People to a Duel. hehehehe. Let's give these Push-Up folk a run for their abdominal money! If you do them every morning on an empty stomach, you'll soon be up to 10 - 20 lifts per round. (That's a tip I didn't give the push up people. mwhahahahahahaaa.)

(Incidentally, I personally feel this is the single most important yoga exercise to know, other than just breathing in and out.)

Back Relief Using the Puppy
This one's a little less 'Snacky' cause it doesn't easily lend itself to the office. But if you have the chance to grab a little bit of floor space, the Puppy will quickly relieve strain in your lower back and shoulders.
Here's what it looks like, on a good day:

I have detailed instruction and modifications here.
