If you’re anything like us at Beach Butlerz, you’re tired of making the same New Years resolutions. Join a gym, lose 10 pounds and get swimsuit ready are wonderful ideas, but we happen to believe trying new programs to keep your body working hard is the best resolution there is.

A fitness craze that has been around for a while is picking up steam- bikram yoga. This unique routine lasts 90 minutes and involves 26 yoga postures designed to work every organ and muscle in your body. Oh, and did we mention the yoga room is kept at a constant 105 degrees?

The theory behind “hot yoga” is that the intense heat encourages deeper stretching and less stress on your muscles and joints. While it is not an exercise regime intended for everyone, the benefits can be great for all systems of the body. And, bikram yoga burns over 600 calories a class (not bad!).

If you are interested in more information about bikram yoga, check out these websites: hot yoga and bikram yoga.  If you don’t think bikram yoga is for you, make sure to check back soon. We will be featuring some killer interviews and workouts in the coming weeks starting off with our LEADING LADIES FITNESS CHALLENGE beginning first week of March. Happy exercising!
