- Standing with feet under hips or slightly wider, place your hands behind your head and posture tall with chest up.
- Begin the movement by unlocking your knees and hinging back into the hips while keeping your spine neutral.
- Drive through the whole foot as you extend the hip back to the starting position.

Prisoner good morning

- Raise arm up to the side at a 90 degree angle with palm facing forward
- Step forward with one foot and feel the stretch in your shoulders/chest 
- Make sure standing tall throughout stretch 
- Repeat on opposite arm

Doorway Stretch

(30 sec/side - 60 sec total)

- Kneel on all fours with your fore arms on the ground 
- Placing one hand behind your head and keeping your hips under you twist your torso/chest towards the ceiling slowly.
- Tap the ground with your elbow to complete the rep.
- Same process on the other side

Kneeling thoracic twists

- Place your palms flat on the ground directly under your shoulders. Bend your elbows straight back and hug them into your sides.
- Anchor your pubic bone to the floor.
- Inhale to lift your chest off the floor. Roll your shoulders back and keep your low ribs on the floor. Make sure your elbows continue hugging your sides. Don't let them wing out to either side.
- Keep your neck neutral. Don’t crank it up. Your gaze should stay on the floor. 
- Hold for recommended time and slowly lower back down

Cobra pose hold

- Start on all fours, hands and knees. Spread the palms wide, stack the shoulders over wrists.
-Knees are hip distance apart, curl the toes under.
-Walk the palms just out in front of the shoulders. Be sure the palms are spread flat.
- Raise the knees off the mat while shifting the stomach toward the thighs.
-Lift the hips up high, as the legs straighten. Keep toes pointing forward.
- Hold for a few deep breaths and then come back to starting position.

Downward dog hold

- Lay your front side on the floor and stretch out the arms to the front with the palms pointing towards the floor and legs stretched out with your toes on floor.
- Lift your chest, arms, and legs so they hover over the floor and move the arms in an "snow angel" motion until they reach behind you (as far as comfortable) 
- Slowly return to starting position to complete rep
*Legs, chest, and arms should stay off the ground during the entire rep

Reverse snow angel

*Try for 10-15 reps
- Stand tall and hold a band shoulder width apart with some tension.
- Starting with your hands in front of you at chest height, pull the band until your arms are out to either side and the band is stretched across your chest.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together and slowly return to having the band in front of you.
