From the Publisher
Some of the easy-to-challenging exercises offered in this book
Mermaid Stretch
In our everyday lives, side-bending is not an ordinary movement, but the muscles that are stretched and contracted are needed for alignment and balance. In all of these lateral flexion exercises, you stretch and contract the Abdominals, QLs, Lats, Triceps, Rhomboids, and Traps (Trapezius muscles) to help with your balance.
Russian Twist
With core muscles engaged throughout these rotation exercises, you will use more Oblique muscles on the front and QLs on the back.
Wall Bridge (not recommended for Osteoporosis)
Stretching the back and contracting the front with arms reaching forward all contribute to improved alignment and posture.
Teaser
Your core ensures every part of your body is engaged. As your core tightens, it becomes the solid center of all your power flows. This cohesive effort builds muscle and promotes a sense of unity within your body.
Flight
This set of exercises targets the back muscles contracting (Traps, Lats, Back Extenders) and front muscles stretching. These help to counter a forward slump while creating greater spinal mobility and strength in your mid-back.
