Which ones are a challenge?   Mobility Routine Child's Pose Cat-Cow Thoracic Spine Rotation Chest- and Hip-Opening Stretch How to do it: Start on one knee with your opposite foot planted in front of you. Make sure your legs are far enough apart that your back leg can be lengthened while your front knee remains stacked directly over your ankle. Place your hands on your front knee and tuck your tailbone slightly toward the floor in order to activate your glutes. When you're ready to begin, release the hip of your back leg forward and down toward the floor. Clasp your hands behind your back and reach your arms down toward the back of your back knee, keeping your arms as straight as possible. Lift your heart to open your chest. Hold for 3-5 breaths. Repeat on the opposite side.
