Yoga. It's kinda cool.

Ok, so with the shape of my body comes a lot of aches and pains. Especially my back, for obvious reasons. Yesterday when I was going through Pinterest I found some yoga poses that are supposed to help decompress and strengthen the spine. "Sweet!" This morning I tried it, and by some miracle my back feels amazing. The stiffness is gone, the pain is gone. It's a Christmas miracle guys. So here is that pose I did for those of you who are curious now. Hold for 6 breaths, Enjoy. =)

1. Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose)

• Begin by lying on your back with your knees bent and feet in line with the hips. 
• Make sure the toes point straight ahead and that the knees are directly above the ankles when you lift your buttocks.
• Roll the shoulders under and clasp the hands or hold a strap. Internally rotate the thighs so that the knees stay in line with the hips. 
• Press the outer shoulders and forearms into the ground to open the chest.
• Press the feet into the ground to lift the hips up.
• Relax the buttock muscles and use the thigh muscles (quads) to lift more.
• Press all four corners of the feet firmly into the ground and lift the outer hips up.
