Wall Angels, Cat Cow – Exercise

Wall Angels- position yourself standing flat against the wall. 3 positions for this exercise. (1) placing elbows at side while trying to have arms/hands touch wall behind you (making a ‘W’ with your arms). Hold. (2) position arms at 90 degree angle (like a goal post) trying to get arms/ hands flat against wall behind you. Hold. (3) extend arms up over head, trying to flatten arms against wall behind you. Hold. 

 

30 sec. Hold, 3 reps, 2x a day

 

Cat Cow- Start on your hands and knees with your wrists directly under your shoulders, and your knees directly under your hips. Place your shins and knees hip-width apart. Center your head in a neutral position.

  1. Begin by moving into Cow Pose: Inhale as you drop your belly towards the floor. Lift your chin and chest, and gaze up toward the ceiling.
  2. Broaden across your shoulder blades and draw your shoulders away from your ears.
  3. Next, move into Cat Pose: As you exhale, draw your belly to your spine and round your back toward the ceiling. The pose should look like a cat stretching its back.
  4. Release the crown of your head toward the floor, but don’t force your chin to your chest.
  5. Inhale, coming back into Cow Pose, and then exhale as you return to Cat Pose.

 

30 reps, 2x a day
