How to do it
A resting stretch for your back, hips and shoulders. A calm way to finish a workout.
- Kneel on the floor with your big toes together and knees apart.
- Sit back towards your heels and reach your arms forward along the floor.
- Rest your forehead on the floor or on a cushion and breathe slowly.
Tips and safety
- Put a cushion between your heels and hips if you can't sit back comfortably.
- Keep your knees closer together if that feels better for your hips.
Move within a comfortable range and stop if you feel pain. If you have an injury or health condition, check with a qualified professional first.
