Exercise No. 1: The Abdominal body Stretch
Begin and end all of your routines (at whatever level) with this exercise, as it is more of a stretching exercise. It is essential to stretch before any exercise session (to warm up) and afterwards (to cool down) this greatly reduces the chances of any injuries. Lie down on your front, with your arms next to your head and stretch out as far as you can. Also stretch your legs, feet and toes as far as you can in the opposite direction. At the point of maximum tension, hold the position for 15 seconds, then release.
Perform five repetitions (reps).
