Tone Your Shoulders and Core with Cari’s Yoga Workout – Featured in OM Yoga

I’m excited to be featured in OM Yoga Magazine again this month! This time I am doing one of my favorite sequences that target shoulders and core. If you find that you can’t do some of these poses or that you can’t hold them for very long – then you need to build some strength in your core and shoulders. I give suggested strength training exercises for each that will help you with this. Practice the sequence 2-3 times per week in addition to doing 2-3 strength training sessions and you will master these moves in no time! You can view details of the sequence in this online preview or buy your copy at Barnes and Noble this month!

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
