Toomey said this stretch really hits her abductors and helps relieve lower-back pain or pressure. Hold for three to four minutes, taking your legs a little wider to go deeper as the minutes go on.

• Rest your hands on your thighs or on the floor.
• Only fold as far as you can with straight legs. Hold here three to four minutes.
