Spinal Twist

Happy April!  This month’s WOW’s is to stretch out your lower back.  Adding these stretches throughout the day will help with opening up your lower back and improving your hip mobility.

Exercise: Spinal twist.

How to perform: Sit up tall and place your left foot on the outside of your right knee.  Place your right elbow to your left knee and position the left hand at the base of your spine.  Twist and look over your shoulder to stretch your lower back and abdominals.

Duration: Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and repeat on both right and left side.
