How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Stand on a low stable platform holding a very light dumbbell in front of your thighs with your knees softly bent.
- 02Tuck your chin and slowly flex your spine one segment at a time, beginning through the neck and upper back.
- 03Let the dumbbell descend below foot level while your hips stay over your feet and the movement remains pain-free.
- 04Pause at your deepest controlled stretch without bouncing or forcing additional range.
- 05Reverse slowly from the lower spine upward until you stand tall, keeping the load deliberately light.
