- May Five exercises for spine mobility, core strength and balance
Here are your May Five Exercises:
- Thread needle
- Bird dog
- Single leg dead lift
- Shrug
- Child’s pose / side bend
What are “The Five”? Exercises I offer each month that follow my trademarked R.O.S.S. protocol.
Who are these for? You! These exercises are suitable for seasoned exercisers, and those just starting out, or returning to exercise.
Why do The Five? To feel good in your body!
How do I do them? Follow this three-minute video.
Your options include:
Starting your day with the Five, get moving by doing one minute of each exercises right after you get out of bed.
Use them as a warmup before beginning a longer strength session.
The Five can be your strength session for the day. Spend 2-3 minutes doing your warmup – Thread the needle and Bird dog, then do 3 sets of 10 reps of the strength exercises – Single leg deadlift and Shrug, then spend a minute stretching in Child’s pose. In less than 20 minutes you will have completed a simple, easy to follow, strength and mobility session.
