Abdominal and Oblique Muscle Stretch

 

Relieve the tension build up in the muscles of your abdominal and oblique area, with these simple stretches.

If you find that you don't feel any tension - don't force into the stretch, simply relax and take the movement a little further, however always within your own limits.

1. Begin the stretch by kneeling on the floor, holding your heels with both hands.

2. Slowly exhale, lifting your buttocks up and forward while taking the head backward, in order to arch the back.
