Seated Dynamic Flexibility

Technique

Sit with your legs bent and back straight. Lift the chin so the neck is placed as a natural extension of the spine. Breathe in and exhale as you move of your chest forward and lower your shoulders and lean forward. Lift your arms and hold them in front of you, activate the abdominal support and lean back slightly. Exhale and move your arms towards the sealing, while you sit in a more upright position. Do small, controlled movements. Keep abs tight all the time - the goal of this exercise is mobility training in the upper body.

Tips

Think "hold the zipper" to activate the pelvic floor muscles when you do the movements.

Alternatives

Bend your legs as much as necessary to be able to lean forward with a straight back.
