Day 1 - 14-Day Happy Back Series
If you've ever had back pain, or you simply want to avoid it, this little workout is for you.
Using 4 of my favourite back exercises you will strengthen the posterior chain of the body (as well as learn how to hinge, instead of bend through your low back), work out any restrictions in your thoracic spine (T-spine), strengthen the stabilizers in the spine and work on giving your lower lumbar discs some space.
Tools: mat, yoga bolster (or pillow), access to a wall
1-leg hip hinge
1-leg hip hinge
Iso-hold bird dog
T-spine extension against wall
Supported sphinx
