Reverse Lunge with Reach

Stand with your hands at your waist, and step back with your left leg into a deep lunge. Increase the stretch by lifting your left arm overhead and reaching to the the right.  Make sure you are lowering your back leg and your front knee does not go past your front toe.  Return to standing, and repeat this move on the other side.  Complete 12 total, 6 on each side.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Pilate Roll-up

Lie on your back with arms overhead.  Bring the arms forward until they are above your head (fingertips pointing to the ceiling).  Lift the head and together with the arms roll your spine up one vertebra at a time, keeping your navel pulled into your spine.  Roll up completely until you are bending forward reaching toward your toes.  To return, stack your vertebrae one at a time, until you are sitting erect, and then slowly roll down starting from the sacrum (pelvic tilt backward to touch sacrum down first) one vertebra at a time until you are lying flat on your back again with arms overhead.  Complete 12 repetitions.
