This week, try these stretches on for size!
Hamstring Stretch
Sitting on the floor or with your back against a wall, straighten your legs out in front of you. Keeping your back straight and with hands on the floor, slowly curl your toes back towards your body. Hold for 15 seconds, then release. Repeat this stretch 2-3 times.
Cat-Cow
Position your hands directly under your shoulders and knees under your hips, either on the carpet, a rug, or exercise mat. Start by moving into the Cow Pose; inhale as you drop your belly toward the floor, lifting your chin and chest upward to gaze toward the ceiling. Next, move into Cat Pose; exhale as you draw your belly to your spine and round your back to the ceiling, like a cat stretching its back. Each motion should take approximately 15-30 seconds. This is an excellent exercise to do when you wake up, or anytime your lower back is feeling tight.Congratulations! Your commitment to a stronger body has paid off!
