*A: Try adding martial arts to your yoga training in the form of Budokon.
Referred to as everything from an “integrative movement system” to the
“science of mind and movement”, this up-and-coming form of exercise is also
just plain fun. (And if you like Jennifer Aniston’s shape, Budokon gets some
of the credit).

You know that series of yoga moves — plank to downward dog to cobra? Try
doing it in one uninterrupted, extreme slow-motion flow, pushing a roll
through your spine to get you there and back.

And that’s just a warm up.

What’s cool about Budokon is that the fluid and dynamic yoga moves you do at
the beginning of class are exactly what your martial arts moves —like
roundhouse kicks — look like at the end. Only difference: you’re not pushing
against the floor anymore, you’re upright and landing kicks on the pad in
your instructor’s hands.

I can recommend this: if you can, go directly to a class. Do not scan
YouTube for videos of anyone else doing Budokon because you’ll watch and
think, "my body can’t do that."

But that’s the whole point: try making your body do that. In the process
you’ll probably experience what I did — improved flexibility, balance,
control, coordination and strength. Is it any wonder Team Aniston is making
a move into rom-com/action flicks with the likes of Gerard Butler? Take that
Mr. and Mrs. Smith.*
