Wall Dog

Purpose: To extend the spine and stretch the chest and hamstring muscles.

Props: Wall

Tips: Retract shoulder blades firmly into the back. Keep knees bent if you're stiff.

Instructions:

  1. Place your hands on the wall at eye level with your index fingers pointing up, arms shoulder-width apart and elbows straight.
  2. Place your feet hip-width apart and parallel.
  3. Straighten your arms and move your chest a little toward the wall. Keep your elbows straight and pull your shoulder blades in toward your spine. Your chest will move a little toward the wall and shoulders will move back.
  4. Bend forward through your trunk until there is one long diagonal line from hands to hips, stepping back as needed.
