Baby Boomer Warm-Ups and Stretches

After Your Workout

This movement emphasizes mobility and is a great warm-up for your chest muscles.

This movement strengthens the abdominal muscles by the opposition of keeping the back flat on the floor while changing legs.

Use this movement to strengthen your abs and your lower back. The motion of your arms and the weight of your legs will challenge you to keep your spine in a neutral position through the workout.

Try these techniques to prevent back pain.
