🔥 REVERSE PLANKS ARE TOUGH 🤟
Do them on your forearm or on your hand, knees bent or straight.
Great for opening up your shoulders, strengthening your core and glutes.

One of my favourite things to do is to take my spine into full flexion and extension. Feels amazing ❤️

My favourite stretches to keep you strong and flexible in the saddle

1) Cat cow with a focus on the thoracic spine x10 reps
2) Thoracic rotation 2x3 deep breaths on each side
3) Long lever plank 30s-1minute
4) Child's pose x1minute
5) Forward fold x1minute
6) Side bend with rotation x1minute on each side
7) Lumbar spine rotation x30s on each side
Breathing tip: Try to breath in and out through your nose to activate your important diaphragm muscles and make your exhale longer than your inhale to relax your muscles and go deeper into the stretch. Do not hold your breath.
