How to do it

Setup. Start off with your feet hip-distance apart.

1. Bend your knees slightly to keep them soft and springy.
2. You may want to move your pelvis forward and backward and back few times before holding the tailbone forward in this stretch.

Cues

• Feet hip width, knees soft.
• Tuck the tailbone under.
• Then tilt it back.
• Move slowly, breathe out.

Common mistakes

• Moving from the knees.
• Holding the breath.

Where to start

A starting point, not a law. Pick a weight you could lift two or three more times than the top of the range. When every set hits the top of the range, add a little weight.
