Purpose:
A wonderful stretching exercise to loosen knee joints and hip joints, strengthen the upper legs, and give energy to one’s walk.
Approach:
Spend about 5 to 10 minutes in a session. Develops in phases.
- From a kneeling position with your hands resting on the floor, start by trying to sit up on your legs and feet.
- Try to slowly widen your legs so that you sit on the floor.
- Continue trying to lean back and until you can rest your arms back on the floor.
- Finally, continue this sequence of leaning back more until you can lie back on the floor.
Notes:
Develop this exercise over time. It took me a year and a half to achieve phase 4 above.
