Why I Do it: My lower back, hips, and glutes are the most sore after rowing for an hour, so I love to just slide off the rower seat onto the floor, take off my sneakers, and do this stretch that targets all those areas, and allows my heart rate to begin to slow down.
- Bend your knees, and bring the soles of your feet together.
- Rest your hands on your feet, or to deepen the stretch, bring your hands underneath your calves and use your upper body to pull your torso and head toward the floor.
- Enjoy this stretch for five deep breaths (which is about 30 seconds).
