#10 Sit and Reach



                Sit Up                                              Grasp Ankles
                Straight























                Pull                                     While on the floor, sit up as straight as possible
                Chest                                    with your legs straight in front, feet about 3-6
                Toward                                   inches apart, knees on the floor and feet pointing
                Legs                                     straight up.

                                                         While keeping your knees down, and looking
                                                         straight ahead, grab your ankles, as far down as
                                                         possible.


                                                         Pull your chest toward your legs with your arms
                                                         and stomach muscles for 10-15 seconds. You
                                                         want to feel the stretch in the legs and back.


                                                         Now pull back against your arms for about 5
                                                         seconds. Relax. Repeat sequence 4-5 times.
