A great way to alleviate stress and tone your muscles is with yoga. But many of us can't seem to find the time or the money to make it to a class. So, iMag found an easy move you can do just about anywhere! Famed Celebrity Yoga Guru and now Fila Yoga Ambassador, Kristin McGee gave us a simple stretch that will help slim you down. 

Mountain Pose

Directions: 

- Sit up straight, clasp your hands, and extend your arms forward. 

- Turn the palms away from you and raise your arms until the palms face the ceiling. 

- Stretch and feel yourself growing taller as you reduce the stress in your head, neck and shoulders. This posture lengthens your sides. 

- If you want, add to this posture by bending your arms to each side.

Quick Tip

Workout While Working! Sit on a stability ball while working at your desk. This will strengthen your core. Try and squeeze in shoulder presses and crunches. Also, try taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Even a few flights at a time will add up quick!
