This workout will touch on the strength elements required for back bends.

You’ll love it.

Use your knees to catch the arm swings. Make sure allow your spine to twist a bit in order to allow he arm circle to flow.

Do 10 of these in each direction, in each arm, no rest.

Shoulder circles

Start in a crawl position and slide one leg behind the other. Make sure feet are parallel. Start to turn your body into your half bridge. As the free arm lifts off the floor bring it overhead and draw 3 circles with it. Reverse the motion to finish in your crawl.

2 reps on each arm - repeat this 3 times.

Half bridge overhead circles

Start facing away from the wall at arms length. From there tuck your pelvis into posterior tilt and engage your quads and glutes to avoid over extending the lumbar spine. 

Go up into the balls of the feet if necessary. Don’t let your feet turn out. 

Lean back into the wall and walk yourself as low as you can then back up.

Bridge wall walks

• Pelvis in posterior tilt 
• Up onto the toes lean the knees forward 
• Keep hips extended and reach down for your heel or the floor
• 2 reps on each side, repeat this 3 times.
