Spine Stretch Forward

Expert Advice

Imagine you are curling over a beach ball to create a 'C' shape with your spine, which will help deepen the stretch.

Sit up tall with your legs extended in front of you, slightly wider than hip-width apart.
Extend your arms straight out in front of you at shoulder height.
Inhale and lengthen your spine, then exhale as you reach forward, hinging at the hips and stretching your hands towards your feet.
Hold the stretch for a few seconds, then slowly roll back up to the starting position.
Repeat the stretch several times.
