- Cross-Body Crunch
- Good mornings – Using a broomstick or barbell, position yourself so it is resting on your shoulders, place your feet shoulder width apart. Keep your legs straight and bend forward at the hips, keep bending forward until you feel a mild stretch in your hamstrings. (Do not try to bend past the mild stretching sensation. As flexibility increases so does the range of motion.) Hold for a count of one and then return to your starting position by straightening up and repeat.
