Cooldown, Exercise 4: Standing Forward Fold With Clasped Elbows
Begin standing with your feet hip-width apart, arms at your sides.
Take a breath in, and as you exhale, bend at your hips, folding over your thighs. Keep your back as straight as you can, initiating the bend from your hips and waist.
Bend your arms, and take hold of your opposite elbows, holding your right elbow in your left hand and your left elbow in your right hand.
Keep your weight pressing forward, feeling the stretch in your lower back and hamstrings. Gently sway your torso, and nod and shake your head to release tension in your neck.
