Warm-Up.

5-Minute Spinal Warm-Up
Cat-Cow x 3 reps
(Really, really slow…try to feel each vertebrae moving. Use this to test to see where you feel tight. As a pre-test, while you are in “Cat”, try to drop your butt back to your heels and see how far you can get.)

Segmented Cat-Cow x 3 reps in each position
To do this, hold yourself in “Cow” and only move the segment you are working on. They are:
– Neck (chin to chest then head to back)
– Chin Scrapes (w/ chin to chest, draw your chin from shoulder to shoulder)
– Scapular Push-Ups (stay in “Cow” and really focus on getting as much sliding movement in your shoulder blades as possible)
– Upper Thoracic Flexion & Extension
– Lower Thoracic Flexion & Extension
– Lumbar Flexion & Extension
– Sacral Flexion & Extension
– Tail Tucks

Retest your full Cat-Cow and also how far you can get your butt toward your heels while in “Cat”.
