KEY AREAS: Erector Spinae, Glutes
START POSITION: Lie on your back with head flat back on the floor.
NOTES: Clasp with both hands just below the knees and pull/squeeze down gently. No need to consciously tense anything – just relax – this is not a tenison based exercise – it is designed to release tension and increase bloodflow to often stressed areas of the back.
This is a simple but effective exercise which does not need much introduction to form. But it’s easy and you should do it whilst you are down there on the mat.
Difficulty Level: Beginner
