Cat yoga to eliminate back fatigue

1. Kneel on the ground, open your knees to the same width as your hips, keep your calves and insteps close to the ground, and your feet face towards the sky. Lean forward, straighten your back, and note that your thighs are at right angles to your calves and trunk, so that your trunk is parallel to the ground. Press the palms of your hands on the ground and place them in the center position below your shoulders. The arms should be vertical, at right angles to the ground, and at the same time as the shoulders. Point your fingertips forward.

2. Inhale, while slowly raising the pelvis high and bending your waist slightly downward to form an arc. Look ahead, lower your shoulders, keep your cervical vertebrae in line with your spine, and don't raise your head too much.

3. Exhale and slowly arch your back up, push your face downward, and look at the thighs until you feel the back stretching. Repeat the above actions 6 to 10 times with your breathing.

Change in action: After completing step 3, straighten your back again, while raising your right foot and pushing back until it is level with your back. Push the soles of your feet straight, and stretch your left hand forward. Raise your head, look ahead, and stretch your back. Keep your straight hands and feet parallel to the ground.

Benefits: Fully stretch your back and shoulders, improve blood circulation, and eliminate soreness and fatigue. The spine is properly stretched to increase flexibility.

Precautions: Do not move too fast, and do not swing your neck back and forth violently or arch your waist back. Don't overstretch your neck.
