If you run, it's not unusual to experience back pain at some point.
This pain can be caused by tense upper back muscles and shoulders, weak
abs, tight hamstrings and hips, or a combination. You'll be amazed at
how a regular stretching routine can help! Sleep better and tie your
shoes with ease by going through this 11-pose yoga sequence after every
run.
- Begin on your mat and bend your knees so the soles of your feet are touching. Use your hands to open your feet up like a book.
- Inhale with a straight spine, and exhale as you fold forward, pressing your elbows against your inner thighs to deepen the stretch.
- Relax your shoulders away from your ears and stay like this for five breaths.
