Looking to maximize your workout time with a balanced routine that burns tons of calories, lengthens tight muscles and improves your mood? Then CY-YO is just what you've been after. CY-YO is short for cycling yoga, a workout that begins with 10 minutes of focused yoga stretches, followed by 40 minutes of motivating cycling, and finishes with 10 minutes of relaxing yoga stretches.

The goal of each workout encompasses 3 principles; self acceptance, letting go of negative energy, and increasing positive energy flow. The instructor helps you accomplish this by combining transformational language and visualizations along with a challenging cardio workout, focused breathing, and targeted yoga poses. The advantage to doing a more holistic workout is that you tune in to your body's "higher vibration" and tune out all the stress that drags you down, all while burning tons of calories and increasing flexibility. Another positive spin is that in addition to being challenging, CY-YO is geared at people who are looking to improve themselves from the outside in which typically leads to quicker results.

CY-YO is calorie burning nirvana for those looking to get more than just a workout and it's so popular that more and more health clubs are beginning to offer it. It's also available on dvd for those who prefer to workout at home or those who don't have access to a CY-YO class.
