Standing cat cow
Standing while doing the cat-cow stretch aids in releasing tension in your back, hips, and glutes. This pose is a simple stretch that improves shoulder and hip flexibility in older adults.
How to do it:
- With your knees slightly bent, stand with your feet about hip-width apart.
- Put your hands on your thighs or extend them out in front of you.
- Round your spine, bring your chin toward your chest and lengthen your neck.
- Then lift your chest, turn your spine the other way, and look up.
- Five breaths should be maintained in each posture.
- For a few minutes, keep moving in this manner.
