Simple Abdominal and Lower Back Stretches

Whether you work out your abdominal muscles and/or lower back, it is good to do both of these stretches.

Abdominal muscles: Lie down or stand up and simply stretch your arms and legs in opposite direction. Hold for ten seconds. Repeat at least three times.

Lower back: Lie down and hug your knees. Hold for ten seconds. Repeat at least three times.
