Daily Fitness Tips, Tricks and Secrets

After a long week, your body probably cold use a great stretch!  Let yourself go with a nice yoga pose!  Release all your tension.  Release all your stress.  Release all your frustrations.  Release.  Relax.  And Breathe.  Time to get started.  The kneeling back stretch is a great yoga exercise that stretches out your back, core, chest, shoulders, and quads.  Kneel down on your knees.  Keep you body upright and tall.  Reach your hands back and grab your ankles.  If you are flexible enough round your back into the stretch and drop you head back.  Totally relax.  This may be difficult for some so work up to the full stretch.  Improve your flexibility and strength with the kneeling back stretch.

Now try it!  Get down on your knees.  Elongate your body up from your knees.  Touch your toes and hold the back stretch for 30-40 counts.  Release.  Complete at least 3 sets.  Remember to breathe.  Challenge yourself with each practice to improve your flexibility.  Relax into this stretch.  You deserve it!

Add this exercise to your stretching routine.  Take some time for you!

Back and core stretch out yet?!  Tell me about it?!

Take care and get fit…Jen :)
