Yoga has often been cited as the panacea by Yogis for overcoming all sorts of life's ailments including joint pain. However, for many Yogis whose wrists are more use to a computer keyboard than a sun salutation, wrist pain is often the first twist they encounter when starting a yoga regimen. Stick-e® Brands, the industry innovator in yoga accessories, has just introduced the first patent pending Yoga Stick-e® Wrist Saver to address wrist pain associated with upper body weight bearing exercises such as pushups and Downward Dog poses.

According to a Yoga Journal Press Release, "One significant trend to emerge from the [2008 'Yoga in America' Market Study] study is the use of yoga in medical therapy. According to the study, 6.1 percent, or nearly 14 million Americans, say that a doctor or therapist has recommended yoga to them. In addition, nearly half (45 percent) of all adults agree that yoga would be beneficial if they were undergoing treatment for a medical condition." Additionally, "Yoga as medicine represents the next great yoga wave," says Kaitlin Quistgaard, editor in chief of Yoga Journal. "In the next few years, we will be seeing a lot more yoga in health care settings and more yoga recommended by the medical community as new research shows that yoga is a valuable therapeutic tool for many health conditions."

Have you made your resolution to workout in the New Year? This year, it's easier than ever to stay fit, and stay informed.  

Lady Foot Locker has broadened the fitness spectrum to include toning. Footwear, like the Reebok EasyTone and Skechers' Shape Ups give a boost to your everyday routine.

To keep you on track with your resolution, Lady Foot Locker provides workout tips, product stories, and healthy recipes through The Club, a new blog on ladyfootlocker.com.

Cathy Lang, author of "Wardrobe Workouts" and fitness guru for The Club, offers the following advice to guide you through the New Year, "If you burn an additional 500 calories 3x/week you will be on track to lose about one pound every two weeks. Now that is a sustainable goal!"

Cathy makes these suggestions to add a little burn to your day:

1- Take the stairs. The average woman burns 10 calories when ascending, and seven when descending a flight of stairs. Climbing 10 sets of stairs will burn 50 calories. If you make a conscious effort to go up the stairs twice every trip you will reach your 500 calorie goal in half the time.

2- Enhance your day-to-day errands with toning footwear which destabilize your walking movements causing your muscles to work harder; more work = more calories burned going to class or taking a walk at lunch.
