How To Do A BACK BEND & Why You Should

Back bends (or bridges some call them) are super great for stretching your back, posture, energy, digestion, spinal health, breathing and more! Here are a few ways to do them. Eventually you'll be able to get into one from a standing position!

First lay down on the ground with your legs bent and your elbows in the air with your fingertips pointing away from your head. Then push right up into one! Rock around, stretch it out and get comfortable.

Next, practice standing close to the wall and slowly walking your hands down. Once you get comfortable, you can walk all the way down to the ground into a back bend position.

After you're comfortable with the drill, you can start trying to do it from a standing position. Some tips are to lean weight in your legs forward while you bend your body backward. For beginners, start with a wider stance until you get advanced enough to keep your legs more shoulder width. Catch yourself carefully! To stand up out of it, you must lean forward while picking your body up.

This is great to add into your daily stretching routine.
