Exercise Description

This is a great way to strengthen the back and add flexibility to your core.

Muscle Groups: back, abs, core

Step Number 1

Sit on your knees and place your hands on your lower back, just above your hips. Try to press your hands into your waist as you tuck in your tailbone. Your knees should be hip width apart with your feet straight out behind you.

Step Number 2

As you inhale, tuck your tailbone and raise your chin towards the ceiling.

Step Number 3

While exhaling, lean back so your back is extending over your feet.

Step Number 4

Inhale as you return back to erect position with a straight back resting on your knees.

Step Number 5

If this is comfortable try to extend the back further in the second rep. Once again inhale as you tuck in your tailbone and raise your chin towards the ceiling.

Step Number 6

From this position exhale as you lean back over your feet. If you feel flexible, try to drop your hands onto your feet. Try to push your hips forward so that they are over your knees. Let your head drop back. Hold this position for several breaths.
