Part 3: Stretching Your Core and Back
1. Touch your toes. Stand straight up and keep your knees and legs straight. Bend over and touch your toes or the ground. Keep your back and neck straight, and bend at the waist. This stretches your back and legs as well.
2.Try a wall bridge. Stand a few feet away from the wall and place your hands on the wall behind your head by bending backward. Walk yourself down to the ground.

3. Do back-bends. Back bends stretch out your back muscles and help you become more flexible. Lay on your back and reach your arms over your head, placing your hands on the ground by your ears. Push your body up so that your weight is on both your hands and feet and your torso is in a bridge.
Make sure to maintain the proper position as you do the back bend. You should hold your core tight, tuck your head into your chest, place your hands next to your ears, and have your legs parallel to one another.
4. Rock out your back. Lay on your back and bring your knees in toward your tummy. Hold your legs with your arms so that you are curled up in a ball. Rock back and forth to stretch your back muscles.
5. Do a seal stretch. Lay flat on your tummy then use your arms to hold your torso up. Tip your head back. This stretches your chest, abdominal, and back muscles. A snake or cobra stretch is another name for this pose.
If that stretches your muscles too far, support your body with your elbows and forearms and work up to using your hands to support your weight.
That wraps up Part 3 of our discussion on stretching the core and back. The final Part 4 is coming up tomorrow.😎
