Description

To carry your own body weight and perform a large range of movements it is essential to have a strong and flexible back. Abdominal and middle back stretch exercise keeps your back and joints flexible to prevent injuries and discomforts. Middle back stretches are also good in reducing back pain. Using an exercise ball takes your workout to another level to create resistance. The instability of ball makes it more challenging for you to improve flexibility and release tension. Middle back stretch on a stability ball works on your entire back, abs and neck muscles.

Step 1

Place a stability ball on a non-slip surface and sit on the ball. Slowly walk yourself out and roll backwards until you are lying over the ball with the ball in your mid back (you can keep your neck/ and shoulders on the ball for support).

Step 2

Place your hands over your head and feel a nice stretch in your abs and mid back. To increase the stretch, slowly straighten your legs. Hold for up to 1 minute. Remember to breathe deeply while stretching.
