Strengthen your back extensors and core muscles in this back strengthener and stretch workout. This is the perfect active recovery workout from training or tack-on after a workout on an off day.
We begin with four of my favourite back strengthener exercises and then proceed to some yummy stretches for your entire spine. We are on the mat for most of the workout while also incorporating a wall for a few of the poses.
