Move your body, day 14: De-stress with Cat-Cow

Start this week with some flow. Cat-Cow is a yoga pose that's said to improve posture and balance.

DAY 14 OF 25 Cat-Cow Bravo! You've made it to week 2. That's more than halfway through the challenge. Start this week with some flow. Cat-Cow is a yoga pose that's said to improve posture and balance — ideal for those with back pain. The benefits of this synchronized breath movement will also help you relax and ease some of the day's stress. Duration: Do as many in 1 minute as you can. Instructions: Begin on your hands and knees in table pose, with a neutral spine. As you inhale and move into cow pose, lift your sit bones upward, press your chest forward and allow your belly to sink. Lift your head, relax your shoulders away from your ears, and gaze straight ahead. As you exhale, come into cat pose while rounding your spine outward, tucking in your tailbone, and drawing your pubic bone forward. Release your head toward the floor — just don't force your chin to your chest. Most importantly, just relax. Tomorrow: Not your everyday plank.
