Like you inhale into cat and then drop into cow as you exhale. So you aren't holding the poses really at all, but more rolling between them smoothly. </p> winniebee on "Cat/cow stretches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catcow-stretches#post-61459 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:57:17 +0000 winniebee 61459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also wondering how many to do! I usually do it for a few minutes straight and it helps. But, I'm no Yogi! </p> mediagirl on "Cat/cow stretches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catcow-stretches#post-61457 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:55:57 +0000 mediagirl 61457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is so comfy! I do it when I have back or butt pain and it feels so good!! Oh but I'm no help on how long. Haha! I just do it until I feel better! </p> winniebee on "Cat/cow stretches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catcow-stretches#post-61454 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:54:13 +0000 winniebee 61454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Yes it's the hands and knees one - you arch your back up (like a cat!) and then stick your belly out (like a cow). It's pretty comfy! </p> chopsuey on "Cat/cow stretches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catcow-stretches#post-61453 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:53:14 +0000 chopsuey 61453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do yoga, but is this the pose you do on your hands and knees?<br /> I did them once in a while when I was pregnant.. probably held the pose for about 15 secs :) </p> winniebee on "Cat/cow stretches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catcow-stretches#post-61447 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:48:59 +0000 winniebee 61447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm starting to do these more because I have some bad low back pain and it seems to help. Quick Q: How long do you hold each position? 10 seconds? Want to make sure I get the most benefit out of these. Thanks! </p>
