Reach Over Stretching

The posture for reach over stretching is same as that of seated spine stretching. In the squat position, hands should be stretched and body should bend forward completely with the chest touching your folded legs. Inhale before you bend and exhale after you bend completely. With hands reaching the maximum, walk your hands towards your right and exhale. Come to the center position with hands stretched and body bent forward. Inhale well in this position and exhale when you go towards the sides. See to that your knees are not poping up when you stretch on the sides. Workouts should be done for about thirty times continuously without finer jerks.
