"Hi, this is Sean Hobson, for Expert Village. What we want to talk about now is the importance of stretching your lower back. This is one of the stretches that a lot of people forget about and we have a lot of injuries by people tweaking their bodies and not having that part stretched out. The first stretch we're going to do is we'll have Matt lay down and he's going to take his legs and throw them back over his head and hold himself there. You can see how this is getting a good stretch of the back. He can even flatten out a little more if he needs more stretch in his back. Again, like all the other stretches we've done, you probably want to hold this for 12 to 15 and then rock forward. That really does a great job of stretching out the lower back because you can let it slowly stretch out as you will. This next stretch we have is called a four way back stretch. We want to lean forward and get a good stretch in the back there, go to the side to stretch out your oblique muscles, then go to the back and get a good stretch there, and then come to the side here. Now, when we do this as we do all back stretches, you want to make sure you don't go too fast in order to pull on the back. You want to go nice and slow. These guys are going to demonstrate what it would look like if we were in practice doing this as they count it through (video demo). You can see how they went nice and slow and got a good stretch. That's how we stretch out the middle of the back."
