Like I stretch to the front and push my chest out then slowly curl around to the back and arch my back and go around and around in a circle and then change direction. Does that make sense? its my FAVORITE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretching#post-267030 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 17:57:16 +0000 matador84 267030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second child's pose and cat cowl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretching#post-266892 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 15:51:26 +0000 SleepyMonkey 266892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and I do one where I put clasp both hands and put it on the corner of the top of the fridge, stand with my feet shoulder width apart and about a foot or two away from the fridge, and hang off it. So your back is a little arched, and I find that gives my mid back a nice stretch too.</p> <p>Hmm I dont think I am explaining these well at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretching#post-266888 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 15:47:46 +0000 SleepyMonkey 266888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You probably do this one already but child's pose really stretches my back. Its my favorite, and you can add a little twist to it by sticking your right arm underneath your left arm so they are at a 90 degree angle to one another and twisting the back, then doing it the other way. If that makes sense at all... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretching#post-266639 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 13:10:30 +0000 Mrsbells 266639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting on all fours and then alternating between arching and caving in your back helps.</p> <p>This website has more tips and pictures<br /> <a href="http://www.mumandbaby-at-home.com/pregnancy/preg%20exercise%202.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mumandbaby-at-home.com/pregnancy/preg%20exercise%202.html</a> </p> [attach=1326/12/m9657v.600x206.preg.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretching#post-266630 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 13:01:57 +0000 pl0508 266630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any of you ladies have some good stretches that help with back and hips? I'm 18 weeks and have some moves that I love off my prenatal yoga dvd but figured you all might have some favorites. I've found that stretching/yoga has really helped me sleep well and not get so achy. </p> <p>This is kinda funny, but sometimes when I am the only one in my office at work (I don't have my own office I work in a suite) I will do some stretches! I figure if someone comes in I'll just say I'm looking for something I dropped ???!!!</p> <p>Ha! </p>
