Living a more sedentary lifestyle is
something that is all-too commonplace in a world where we increasingly
rely on technology for more and more of the daily tasks that used to
have us moving about to get accomplished. Anyone who works with
computers, from home, or doing office work can attest to the fact that
they probably don’t move around as much as they used to before the rise
of smart phones, tablets and laptops. This is one reason among many why
people need to put more of a conscious effort into taking care of the
vessels we have the privilege of inhabiting. Stretching and exercise is
something we all need to need to place more of a focus on, regardless if
you move more during the day or not. The stats don’t lie, either..
About 31 MILLION people in the US alone experience some sort of lower back pain at any given time.
We have posted about the benefits of yoga and stretching before in an article titled “New Research Confirms Multiple Benefits of Yoga on your Body and Mind” and this here works off the same premise as that. Consistent stretching is good for your body and mind, period. (anyone who’s ever been in a martial arts class or something similar before can confirm this)
I came across these back stretches on Simple Organic Life not too long ago and figured it was worth passing it along to our subscribers here on The Mind Unleashed. This is a little something that we can all benefit from, whether we are already fit or not:
1. The hamstring floor stretch.
2. Knee to chest stretch.
3. Spinal stretch.
4. The piriformis stretch.
5. The hip flexors stretch.
6. The quadriceps lying down stretch.
7. The total back stretch.
