NFL Safety Tony Parrish Yoga Extreme Workout


This folks is one of the most intense, craziest, and absolutely most insane workouts that I have ever seen. Yes its a yoga routine, but some of the exercises involved I've actually tried and I can't even get into the yoga position let alone hold it. Tony Parrish is a safety in the NFL who's played in the league for 10 seasons, and here's his yoga routine for staying in shape:

Standing Head to Knee


Posture: Lift right leg straight out in front of body, parallel to floor. Interlace fingers and hold under ball of foot. Lean forward, bend elbows and rest forehead on shin. Hold for 10 counts, return to start position and switch legs. Repeat.

Standing Bow Pulling



Posture: Stand on left leg, bend right leg behind. Grasp instep of right foot with right hand. Extend left arm straight out. Bend forward until abdomen and arm are parallel to the floor. At the same time kick right leg straight up behind you. Hold for 10 counts, return to start position. Switch legs. Repeat.

Standing Separate Leg Stretching



Posture: Stand on left leg, bend right leg behind. Grasp instep of right foot with right hand. Extend left arm straight out. Bend forward until abdomen and arm are parallel to the floor. At the same time kick right leg straight up behind you. Hold for 10 counts, return to start position. Switch legs. Repeat.
