Lower Back Stretch - Sitting lean over This is a stretch for the lower back, although it does help stretch all the other back muscles and the spine. Some may call it the spine stretch. It is a good stretch for warming up for the lower back when it's about to be put under strain; such as doing heavy weight exercises like squats or dead lifts. Some people may not even feel a stretch when doing this, however, it is still good for the circulation and to take the strain off the lower back.             How to do the Lower Back Spine Stretch* Start by sitting on a strong, secure chair. Lift your arms up in front of you and slowly bend down and gradually reach for your feet. Try to feel for the stretch in the lower back area while holding this position for about 20 seconds. If this is easy you can try positioning the feet further away at the start of the stretch. Bending over with your feet further away will cause more stretch in the whole back. Take care if you have problems with your back, if in doubt don't try this stretch!     * Remember it's much safer to under stretch than to overstretch. Always remain within the comfortable stretch zone. Never go to the point where you cannot possibly stretch any more as this could do more harm than good! If you feel any pain or discomfort at any stage of the stretch then stop the stretch immediately! Never force a stretch even if you are attempting to increase flexibility.   The cool down period after training is just as important as the warm up How to warm up thoroughly before any exercise to lose weight Hamstring stretch to lower injury when running Stretching the Chest & upper body for exercise Warming up the ankle joint ready for running Thigh stretching before running or walking Calf muscle stretch to warm up lower legs Cobra stretch for the stomach muscles Shoulder and Triceps stretch in one Stretching around the groin area Stretching the shoulder muscles The upper back lat stretch A stretch for the hip joint Stretch for the butt muscle The neck stretch
