Lying down, bend both legs to 90 degrees while bending the knees and then follow the rotation of both legs to one side, touch the thigh below the belt and force the top in order to touch the floor a little further up the lower thigh.

Keep the shoulders and upper torso horizontally in contact with floor.

Repeat the same movement on the other side. You are actually performing a rotational motion while the LUMBAR SPINE and CERVICAL SPINE ARE KEPT IN THE HORIZONTAL PLANE. This exercise is important and highly effective because it increases muscle flexibility, moves the Discs and the joints.

This greater flexibility of the column prevents the “bad way” that may arise when you inadvertently perform sudden movements. This and EXERCISE No. 5 are essential for the proper performance of your spine during the normal daily activities.
