1. Back extensions<\/h2>\n

If you've ever done yoga, you might know this one as \"cobra pose.\" Back extensions stretch the spine and can help relieve back pain.<\/p>\n

Just lie on your stomach and prop yourself up on your elbows. Try to keep your neck long and shoulders back \u2014 this will help lengthen your spine.<\/p>\n
