Tutorial

1

Get into a quadruped position.

Lower your butt down so that it touches your heels. Keep your hands on the floor. Now try to push your armpits towards the floor so that you feel a stretch in your back.
3

Hold this position until you have reached the specified time.

Tip

Short-term stretching (10-15 seconds) is suitable for warming up before training. To increase flexibility in the long term, the muscle should be stretched for 30 seconds or longer. The intensity should be chosen so that you feel a stretch in the muscle, but not too much pain. Pay attention to how your body feels. Parameters such as temperature, time of day, age and training condition should be taken into account
Make sure that you maintain calm and even breathing while stretching.
