EOTW - Cat / Camel

The Cat - Camel is one of my go to warm up movements for the back and spine.

This is especially a good exercise if your job requires a lot of sitting all day and you then go to the gym.

Key points:

• Start on hands and knees. Knees underneath hips. Hands underneath shoulders.

• Arms should remain straight throughout entire exercise.

• Simultaneously roll head down towards chest whilst rounding back up towards the ceiling until a stretch is felt. Hips and shoulders should not move.

• Return to start position with straight back.

• Raise head up and at same time arch back towards floor. Hips and shoulders should not move.
