Today’s Challenge:
Do a standing abdominal stretch.
Instructions
1 To start, assume a standing position with your feet planted on a firm surface. Your body should be completely straight, with no slouching. Hands should be at your sides.
2 Keeping your head steady, and looking straight ahead, slowly begin to raise both hands in front of you. Make sure to breath deeply in and out. Breathing is a very important part of any exercise routine.
3 Continue to raise your hands slowly until they are above your head.
4 Once your arms are above your head, begin to bend your body back at the waist, as far as you comfortably can. Do not strain. Hold this position for at least 10 seconds. You should feel a tightening in your abdomen; this is a sign that the stretch is working.
5 Repeat this stretch 5 times. As you build stamina and become more comfortable with this stretch, you can increase the amount.
