That is right! You can actually take notes on stretching, just by watching your dog stretch. There is, however, one particular stretch (actually called the “dog” stretch) that helps to stretch out your back, your abs, and loosen your leg muscles a little. Start by laying flat on your stomach and have your legs stretched out behind you. Make sure your feet are pointed out. Put your hands right under your shoulders and slowly straighten your arms out so that you are lifting only the front half of your body. Your legs, from the knees down, should still be on the floor. Relax your body completely and hold it for about thirty seconds. Don’t worry if you feel a little bit of discomfort because that is completely normal. Slowly lower your arms back down until your whole body is on the floor again and your done. It only takes one of these stretches to stretch you out.
