Standing Roll Down Benefits: • Hamstring Flexibility • Releases Tension from Neck and Shoulders • Stretches Back Muscles
Step by Step • Start standing hip-width apart.
• Inhale to prepare.
• On the exhalation roll down only as far as you're comfortable. If you feel a twinge in your back, stop before the pain kicks in. Any bracing of your muscles will achieve the opposite, more tightness.
• Don't try to reach your toes. This will only engage and tighten the muscle you're trying to release. Again exactly the opposite of what we're trying to achieve. Bend your knees a bit, to take tension out of your legs and spine.
• No zombie arms. Shake and dangle your arms.
• Inhale into your back while your upper body is dangling.
• Exhale and scoop your abdominals on the roll up to keep your spine long and protected.
• No shoulder rolls.
