Happy Baby Rocks
Exercise Overview
This is a low back and hip stretch exercise inspired by yoga. Start by lying down on your back on a bench and use one of your hands to grab a foot. Keep the low back flat against the floor and the other leg straight. Slowly oscillate between pulling the heel down and allowing it to move up while keeping the shin as vertical to the ground as possible. Hold this position for 3-5 seconds or for up to 30 seconds.
