 Leading a healthy and active lifestyle is pretty difficult in today’s society, especially for those of us with a busy college schedule. We either do not have the time to exercise, eat right or even just take the stairs instead of the elevator. People need to start becoming proactive! There’s a new fitness trend that could be an interesting solution to this problem, hot yoga!      
 

Yoga has been very popular throughout the years; incorporating meditation with breathing exercises along with various stretching positions. Yoga is meant to help people relax and de-stress while providing them with a full body work out.
 
Becoming all the rage, there is a different practice to yoga, hot yoga; where you sweat so much that it actually feels like you are slimming down by the minute. The highly intense positions are performed in hot and humid temperatures.  Depending on the force of the workout you can burn between 500 to 1250 calories per session.
 
If you are interested in joining this new trendy workout, there is a studio called Hot Yoga Revolution that offers a variety of classes, from beginner stages to boot camp level.  The studio is located in Garwood, NJ, not far from Kean University.
