]]> The sleeper stretch is an exercise that improves the range of motion and internal rotation in the shoulders. If you sit at a computer for most of the day, look down at your phone often, or generally stand with your shoulders rounded forward, there is a good chance you have some tightness in your upper body.

Doing the sleeper stretch daily can help with that. When this move is performed while lying on your side, it stretches out the back of your shoulder. The goal is to increase your range of motion in the shoulder, which will result in better flexibility in your shoulder, which will make your daily tasks much easier. Here’s how the sleeper stretch is done:

  1. Lie on your affected side with your shoulder stacked underneath you. You can use a pillow to support your head.
  2. Position your right arm out in front of you at a 90-degree angle at the shoulder. Bend your right elbow 90 degrees so your forearm is perpendicular to the floor.
  3. Use your left arm to gently and slowly push your right palm toward the floor, until you feel resistance. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds.
  4. Repeat on the other side.

]]> A sedentary lifestyle and long hours sitting at desks and in front of screens have become much more widespread in recent years, causing many people to suffer from tight hips and lower back pain. Yoga is one of the best ways to treat this issue, and the pigeon pose, in particular, has proven powers against those aches, since it increases hip flexibility and rotation. It specifically works as a hip opener and forward bend, stretching your thighs, groin, back, piriformis, and psoas. Here’s how to safely practice the pigeon pose.

  1. On a yoga mat, begin in Downward-Facing Dog Pose. 
  2. Next, raise your right leg off the ground and bring your right knee to the back of your right wrist. Then, rotate your right shin so that it’s parallel with the front of your mat.
  3. As you bring your right leg to the mat, keep your left leg straight as it reaches the ground.
  4. Bring your left knee to the floor, behind you. 
  5. Gently lean forward until you feel a stretch in your piriformis 
  6. Hold for a few breaths, then switch sides.

]]> Getting that six pack is much harder than you can imagine. It requires a lot of exercise, sacrifices, and a healthy diet. Whenever you’re working out, the first thing you need to know is how to properly do the exercises. Good form is essential if you want to notice results.

V-ups are hard, but extremely efficient when it comes to getting a strong core and flat abs.

How To

The key to a successful V-up is activating the core muscles to stay balanced and keep your back and legs off the floor. The first step is to lay flat on your back with your arms and legs extended on the floor. At the same time, you need to lift up both of the legs and both of the arms using the abdominal muscles. Transfer the weight to the glutes. Once you create that V shape, you’re done with the first V-up.

Benefits

One of the greatest benefits of V-ups is that you’re really engaging the whole core. It’s a demanding exercise that also helps a lot with balance. Let’s not forget to mention that it’s one of the most effective ab exercises you can do. Another thing most people will find beneficial is that you can do it literally anywhere, including your home.
