As an added bonus, you’ll also work to increase your hip’s range of motion, which will help you move faster and more easily throughout your day.

EP.09 SPINE STRENGTHENING

Strengthening the spine reduces stress on the spinal discs and joints, protects against injury and is one of the best ways to prevent back pain.
