I Never Feel Sore After Rowing For an Hour, Thanks to This 8-Minute Stretching Routine

Why I Do it: After an hour of folding forward, it feel so good to bend the other way! My abs are always sore after rowing, so this is a great way to stretch them.

• Lie on your belly and extend your arms out in front of you.
• Keeping your legs and pelvis grounded, slowly walk your hands toward your chest, keeping a slight bend in your elbows. Walk your hands in until you feel a nice stretch in your abs.
• Relax your shoulders away from your ears, and lengthen your neck. If it feels OK, lower your head back between your shoulder blades for a nice stretch in your chest and neck.
• Stay here for five breaths.
