Hug Knees To Chest
Hug Knees To Chest is a stretching exercise that trains the lower back.
StretchingBeginnerStatic
Primary muscles: Lower Back
Secondary muscles: Glutes
How to do it
- Lie down on your back and pull both knees up to your chest.
- Hold your arms under the knees, not over (that would put to much pressure on your knee joints).
- Slowly pull the knees toward your shoulders. This also stretches your buttocks muscles.
