10. Cat-Cow Position

People familiar with yoga will recognize this exercise. The cat-cow position involves alternating between two positions. Starting on all fours, arch the back and let the belly sag. Then, perform the inverse, arching the back toward the ceiling and let the head hang. These poses stretch the spine stabilizers while strengthening the abdominal muscles. They also provide minor stretching of the thigh muscles.
