Mounting evidence suggests that a little bit of movement, even before getting out of bed, could be a great measure in preventing back injuries. Most of us get up and go into our day without any warm up. Get this: “The greatest incidence of slipped discs occurs within 30 to 60 minutes after we wake up,” – Dr. Robert Oexman, director of the Sleep to Live Institute
Many of the supine mat stretches we do in class can be done before even rolling out of bed. For those of you who are prone to back pain, try starting your day with a few of these stretches.
Apanasana (Knee Hug)
Thread the needle
Wind Sheild wiper twist
Slow moving Glute Bridge
Seated gentle twist
Cat/Cow
Your back takes a lot of force every day, whether you go to boot camp or not. Prime it for a good day and see if it gives back little bit of mobility and health for doing so!
