If you're looking for a pose that will strengthen your shoulders and core, and increase flexibility in your spine then give Extended Tabletop a try. I like to move into this pose from a variation of Three-Legged Dog with your knee bent (see the photo after the break). This is a pose I've only seen in Vinyasa Yoga classes, so it's a newer pose that will help prepare you for doing Wheel.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Risks
Smoking, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and diabetes are the main risk factors for PAD. According to a 2006 study in Circulation, they affect PAD in different ways:
- Smoking and high cholesterol are more likely to cause PAD progression in the large vessels of the legs. Painful cramps in the hips, thighs, and calves -- especially those that occur during exercise -- are the tell-tale symptoms.
- Diabetes is more likely to cause PAD progression in the small vessels of the feet.
