Technique Tuesday: Lazy Dog
Are you feeling stuck in your shoulders? Do you have tight calves and hamstrings? Do you wanna just feel better overall?
Well look no further! The Lazy Dog will help you fix all those problems I just listed!
This is a slight tweak on the notorious yoga position downward dog. I snagged this one from the strength and training guru Mike Robertson!
All you are going to do is...
Start in a high plank or pushup position and move into a pike by driving your hips up to the ceiling
Once in this position take a deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Then perform some heel pumps to stretch those calves and hamstrings (around 6 is good)
After the heel pumps walk the hands in just a little bit, rinse and repeat!
