Purpose:

To develop flexibility of the back and neck. To reduce fear of using the back. To prepare for tumbling exercises.

Approach:

Simply roll back on the floor and bring the legs above the head. Go right back.

Notes:

With my back and neck problems, there was a certain fear in doing this at first. There was pleasant feeling when I found out that it was harmless, and fun. 25 of these is nice, 50 better.
