Spine Stretch Forward
ステップごとに
やり方
- Inhale deeply and as you exhale, start to round your spine, beginning from the head and moving down vertebra by vertebra, reaching your hands towards your feet.
- Continue to reach forward, keeping your abdominal muscles pulled in so that you feel a stretch in your lower back.
- Hold this stretch for a few seconds, breathing deeply and feeling the stretch along your spine.
- Inhale as you slowly roll back up to the starting position, stacking each vertebra one at a time until you're sitting tall again.

コーチングのポイント
フォームのコツ
A common mistake is rushing through the movement. The Spine Stretch Forward is a slow, controlled exercise that requires focus on the movement of each vertebra. As you exhale, start to round your spine forward from the top, imagining that you are peeling your spine off a wall behind you, vertebra by vertebra. This slow and controlled movement helps to stretch and lengthen the spine effectively.
Another common mistake is tensing the shoulders and neck during the exercise. Keep your shoulders relaxed and down, away from your ears.
