Knees to Chest Lower Back Stretch

Video Transcript

"Now, we're going to do knees to chest. Knees to chest is another stretching exercise that concentrates more on the gluteal region. To begin this exercise, you're going to be laying on your back on either a bench or the floor. Now, what you're going to want to do is bend your knees. And, then put your feet flat on the floor. Now, first with your left hand grab behind your left knee and pull towards your left shoulder. You're going to hold this for a count of five. Now, release. And, now with your right hand grab behind your right knee. And, then pull towards your right shoulder. And, again hold for five seconds. And, then release. And, with this exercise it's always important to maintain your breathing regularly. You don't want to hold your breath at times. It's always important to contract your abs and always try to keep your pelvis tilted like we showed you in the first exercise. And, now remember when you're pulling the leg up you want to breathe in and then exhale on the way out. That was knee to chest. Now, you're going to want to do that repetition five times and then eventually get up to fifteen reps. Now, we're going to move onto the next stretching exercise. Which is going to be the piriformis."
