Well, you all did so good last week. Congrats to you! We had a suggestion for some planks this week and maybe some back exercises so I will do my best to list them. Most of these are from all the physical therapy I have done through the years and continue to do.
Monday Planks. on knees or the regular way. Just keep your back straight and hold as long as you can.
Tuesday...laying on the floor or the bed, knees bent, push the small of your back to the floor and hold for a count of 10, do this 10x
Wednesday.......bridges....laying on the floor or bed again, knees bent raise your butt up off the floor so you are on your shoulders hold that stretch for a count of 5, go down, repeat 5x
Thursday.....on knees, lower your butt to your feet while stretching your arms out in front of you hold for a count of 5, repeat 2x
Friday..........cat stretches........on all fours again, raise the middle of your back up as if you are a catch stretching do 3x
Saturday.........lay on your back, bend knees and then put your hands under your knee and pull your knees toward your chest, then do the other leg, or you can do both lets at once.
Sunday......take a rest day! Oh YES we can, I say so!!!!!!!!!!!:glasses:
