Stretch with deep breathing

You probably know this classic stretch exercise: it is a must for the spine; you get a nice stretch of all the muscles of the back. It's easy to do it at home and it takes 2 minutes. Doing it every day in the morning will prevent muscular tensions during the day.

But you can get the most of it when you do it with deep breathing: you'll work the abdominal muscles and the organs of the abdomen for a greater health benefit!

Arch slightly your back and breath in through the nose, let go the abdomen; then push up your back, contract your abs and lift your stomach while exhaling completly.

In addition to the stretch of the back, you get a good abdominal work with plenty of oxygen to your muscles and organs.

Do 2-3 sets of 6-8 reps.
