Staying Fit Within the Comfort of Your Own Apartment: The Apartment Friendly Work Out

You don't have to go to a class to enjoy yoga; you can try it in your apartment.

Did you know that you can get a complete workout in the living room of your apartment at Ashwood Park? While this may sound like the beginning to an infomercial, we promise you, it’s the truth.

At home workouts are becoming more and more popular as those under the strain of a tight-fisted economy understand the expense of gym memberships that you might not use as diligently as you could. You actually don’t need a gym membership to stay fit; all you need is the commitment and drive to do your work outs at home. Here are some great ways to workout in the comfort of your Pasadena apartment:

• Yoga. This is the ultimate form of at home workout for me, as it breaks one of the biggest myths we have about fitness: Sweat is not necessary in a great workout. Yoga increases flexibility, helps circulation, and tones the body. You can try some beginner’s poses, also called asanas, in a small open space.
• Are you short on time? Try this ten minute workout. It gives you great tips on quick cardio to help you stay lean when you’re lean on time as well.
