Push back. This exercise targets your hip flexors and hamstrings. Kneel on the floor as you see in the first photo. Lean forward then push back. Take your time. Focus on the push back / hammie.
Lying Hamstring. You are on your back with one leg in the air. Pull the leg towards your face. As your leg relaxes, pull more. Small pulses are encouraged.
Heel Sit. It’s simple. Sit on your heels. If you’re flexible, lean back putting the hands or forearms on the floor behind you. Breathe. Focus on the release of your quads.
Cross the body. This is essential to heal your back pain. Go VERY slowly. Try to get your top knee to touch the floor. Breathe. The space will open, if you let it.
Pigeon. For the hips and glutes. A must for runners and cyclists. Pull your leg towards you as you push the top knee away. Hold on. Small shifts are encouraged.
Cobra. Excellent for your core, lower back and abs. Inflexible people (me) can rest on the forearms. Flexible folks are welcome to straighten the arms and gain greater mobility in the back.
Happy Baby. It’s called “happy” for a reason! Get on your back, hold your feet, and let your hips be free.
Hamstring Fold. Stand with legs wide. Bend over to one side. Aim to bring your nose to the knee. Hold and shift and hold.
