  • 4Hold the position for a few seconds, then slowly come back to the seated position.
  • 5Repeat the stretch several times.

Tips:

  • Keep your back straight when leaning forward.
  • Breathe in as you sit up and breathe out as you lean forward.
  • You can enhance the stretch by gently pressing your thighs downward with your elbows.
