Your core muscles are important not just for exercising but for keeping you upright. Stretching these muscles helps prevent back pain and injury and keeps your core muscles flexible and strong. Here's how to stretch your core.
Raise your hands above your head while standing and lean to one side.
Sit on the ground and raise the left knee. Place the right elbow on the outside of the knee and twist around to the left as far as the torso will stretch.
Lie on the floor with your knees bent and feet on the floor. Turn your body and let your knees drop to the right and rest on the floor. Bring back to neutral and then drop to the left.
Perform the yoga Child's Pose. Kneel with your buttocks resting on your feet. Move forward and rest your forehead on the ground with your arms out in front of you.
Perform a lunge. With your feet together, put one foot out in front of you and lower your back knee almost to the floor. Hold and repeat with the other side.
