If you don’t like our mad-lib, that’s totally fine, we’d love to have you announce the start of the challenge in another way that suits you! ;) Week 3: My 5 Fave Stretches and 3 Tips for Toning your BOOTY! I can’t believe its already week 3 of the #BosuStrong challenge, time flies when  you’re having fun! Last week we focused on balance and I was proud of myself for crowing it up on the BOSU. This week its all about stretching and toning – so make sure you join in on the fun!  Since we’re talking about stretching, here are 5 of my all time favorite stretches: I love to stretch my legs by doing pigeon pose. My favorite total body stretch is dancer's and chopasana variation of half moon. You get the quad, hip flexor, hamstring, shoulder, pec, heart opener/backbend all in one pose!. I swear when I do splits, it feels like my hamstrings are solid rocks, but in a #hurtsogood kind of way. I stretch my mind by attempting to meditate. I try to stretch out of my comfort zone by deepening my heart opening- working my forearms down in wheel. And if you’re looking for a great way to tone your booty, here are my fave 3 tips (tricks, advice, words of wisdom, etc): For years I resented my booty and thighs. I wanted slender, the stereotypical runner's body. But when I run (and hike and ski and play field hockey), I get muscular. Biggest tip, keep it in perspective! I'll never look like Gisele OR Kim. I'd rather have a booty (which I love now!) and be able to go run 3 miles than fit into a smaller size pants. OWN IT! Lunges and squats. Lunges and squats. Lunges and squats. In Colorado, we called it "Mountain Booty." Go out hiking and skiing. Your legs get SO muscular! So I want to know - are you #BOSUStrong?
