    To start, sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Shift your weight slightly forward to avoid rounding your back. Relax, and keep your ears, shoulders, and hips aligned.

    • Sit with your feet well apart.

    • Bend forward and touch the floor with the backs of your hands. Relax and let your body drop.

    • Hold for 20 seconds. Return to starting position.

    • Repeat 2 times.
