#25daysofButi

I started an Instagram challenge yesterday called #25daysofbuti...you should join me! (Find me @cindy_loohuu) Buti is a workout that blends yoga, dance, and plyometrics, and it is all sorts of amazing. Check out this video that tells a bit about it:



Part of this #25daysofbuti challenge is clean eating--grain free, gluten free, dairy free, paleo eating (the Buti gals call it 30 day slim down or 30DSD). You can buy meal plans, DVDs, and online workouts on their website, butiyoga.com. I will post some of the recipes I use over the coming weeks!
