all of them are done while lying on your back with knees bent and they are
all done gently, without strain. The first one, you reach above your head
with both arms stretching upward and you lift one leg and point the toe, put
it down and do the other. This is done ten times each leg. The second is
with your arms out to the side and you slowly bend your knees to one side,
stopping when you feel any pulling and then slowly back to center and then
to the other side. Do this ten times. The last one is, you put your hands
on your abdomen, take a slow,deep breath and feel your abdomen fill and then
quickly release the air while sucking in your abdomen and holding your
breath for a few seconds. Do this several times. I don't know if these
will help you and they probably don't seem like much, but they have and
still really help me. I'm someone who has always exercised and does yoga
and unfortunately haven't been able to do anything in a long time. These
stretches are the only thing I can do and they have really tightened my
abdomen without causing pain and back doesn't have as much strain on it
anymore. Take care. Sam
