3 Stretches to do on the beach

1. Sit on the towel, bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together in a butterfly position. Make sure to lengthen your spine as if a thread were being pulled from your head towards the sky. Your neck should not be tense and your chin should be slightly pointing towards your chest. Lower your shoulders and rotate them slightly backwards for a correct posture. Place your palms on your knees and gently push them towards the floor. Don't bounce! Hold the pressure for a few seconds, release and repeat 3 to 5 times. With each exhalation, notice how your muscles relax and allow you to overcome the limitations you felt at the beginning of the exercise.

2. Stay in the same butterfly position, with your spine lengthened and your shoulders in place. Bring your hands behind your back and try to bring your palms together. Once you have achieved this, your elbows will probably fall forward, taking your shoulders with them. Be aware, rotate your shoulders backwards and push your elbows forward , as if you wanted them to touch. If you cannot bring your palms together, do what you can and practice it daily until you achieve the goal. We assure you that it is very satisfying! Finish this exercise by letting your torso fall towards your legs and relaxing your back.

3. Lie face down, place your palms on the floor next to your chest, with your elbows facing up. Activate your abdomen, glutes and legs and push to lift your torso off the floor in the cobra position . Try to lengthen your elbows. If you can't, it's better to keep them bent, or rather lengthen them and raise your shoulders up. Your shoulders should remain away from your ears at all times. If you've mastered this exercise, you can go one step further, stand up and lean your back backwards until you achieve the bridge. Do you dare?
