Feel the need to improve your posture and your upper back mobility?  Who doesn't?!  Here's a great exercise to add some extension into your life!

Set Up:  Lay down on your belly with you arms stretched out in front of you.  Draw your belly in and towards your spine.  Lengethen your lower back.



Action:  Lengthen out your spine.  Drag your elbows in towards your body engaging your triceps.  Keep your lower back long as you bend your upper back to hover off the mat.  Slide back out and repeat.

Be sure your upper back bends and not just your lower back or neck.  If you are having trouble staying out of your lower back, make sure your abs are still engaged.  You can also try opening your legs.
