This week- the lower back.
Well the lower back usually highly looked over but very important. It supports your entire body - but yet usually over looked - instead we do more crunches, we do more leg raises - we completely ignore the entire section.
Now a couple years back I watched my uncle go through a surgery that he was told he could have avoided had he taken care of his lower back. His spine basically had started to fuse together cutting off nerves and spinal cord connections through out his lower body.
Begginer: One arm One leg reach:
Preparation :
With one hand on hip, balance on opposite leg with knee flexed slightly and aligned over 2nd & 3rd toe.
Movement :
Maintaining a drawn in position, extend opposite leg into triple extension (hip, knee, ankle fully extended) and at the same time flex the shoulder of the free hand, straight out in front of the body.
Hold and then return both extremities to starting position, maintaining optimal posture.
