Hello Zobha Community-

As an active runner, cyclist and mom, Zobha is my daily go-to apparel.  Most recently I ran the Wine Country Marathon in Healdsburg, CA on October 27.  It’s imperative to have the right gear when running a race of that distance which is why I chose my Zobha performance tech infinity bra and the performance hot short.  I felt well supported and both pieces kept everything in place throughout the entire 4 hours and 24 minutes of my race.   The fabric has great breathability and wicks moisture very well, i.e. no chafing!  It’s hard to find active wear that has it all, comfort, style and is still technical enough to get the job done.

3 Easy Exercises You Can Do From Home

Monday, July 23rd, 2012

Hello Zobha Community-

As a fitness expert, I know how important it is to stay in shape. I also know how a busy schedule can sometimes get in the way of a desired workout schedule. Instead of skipping the workout, there are some great exercises you can do from home that can have the same effect.

 Here are three easy fitness moves that you can do right from home:

  1.  The Burpee: This is a full body exercise performed in four steps. Begin in a standing position. Begin to squat position your body with your hands on the ground. Extend your feet back in one quick motion to assume the plank position. Return to the squat position in one quick motion return to an upright standing position.
  2. Tree Sit: Stand with back flat against a wall (or tree) and lower until knees are bent at a right angle. Extend arms straight overhead and left leg forward so it’s parallel to ground. Hold for 15 seconds; switch legs. Do three sets.
  3. Roll-Up: Sit with legs extended, feet flexed, back straight; wrap band around soles of feet, holding each end next to knees. Keeping arms and legs straight, slowly lower torso, one vertebra at a time, to ground. When top of shoulder blades touch ground, slowly roll up. Do three sets of 12 reps.

All of these exercises can be done in minimum space. If done often, these easy moves show great results.
