Wall Crawl

The backbend is one of the best ways of building strength and flexibility simultaneously along the posterior chain. The thoracic extension and spinal articulation will absolutely improve your mobility and performance while practicing every other exercise in existence. If you work out in the afternoon, use this in the beginning of your workout. If you train in the morning, use this at the very end of your workout, when your core temperature is highest. When you emphasize your breathing while going into and out of this extreme position, you’ll also notice an improvement in your lung power and capacity during following workouts. – Eric Buratty
