This exercise targets: your lower back and abdominals
For this exercise, you will need: an exercise mat
Get in an all-fours position with your knees and hands on the floor. Your hands are shoulder-width apart, your back straight and your knees in a stable position.
This exercise is a combination of the cat and cow position.
You are in a cat position when you lower your head, round your shoulders and back. Stay in this position for a second.
Then slowly lift your head and tailbone up and press your lower back down. At that point you will be in a cow position.
Tips:
This exercise helps relieve stress and stretches your front torso and neck.
This exercise provides a gentle massage to the spine and your belly organs.
If you have a neck injury, keep your head in line with the torso.
As you curl from the cat to the cow position, you will strengthen your Kegel muscles (muscles that contract during orgasm).
Inhale as you go into the cow position and exhale as you go into the cat position.
Beginners: 10 repetitions
Intermediate level: 15 repetitions
Advanced level: 20 repetitions
