This is a challenging one, but it stretches a lot of your body. Start by lying on your back. Position your hands by your ears, fingers pointing towards the shoulders. Place your feet close to your bottom. Slowly rise from the floor, stretching your belly button toward the ceiling as much as possible. To make it more challenging, try straightening your legs.[/su_box]

Begin in push-up position. Place forearms on the floor, shoulders above the elbow, creating a 90 degree angle. Bring one leg forward, placing the knee near the shoulder, and the heel near the opposite hip. (Left knee to left shoulder, left heel to right hip). You should feel it deep in your bottom.[/su_box]
Flexibility is important for your body, even if you don’t do acrobatics! In fact, it is recommended that you do aerobic training 3-5 times a week, strength training 2-3 times a week, and flexibility training every day. On a final note, remember that it’s best to stretch when your muscles are warm to prevent injury!
