Andrea’s back exercises
On the go all day long … your back is going to notice that. The long term consequences that frequently occur are also well known and these range from chronic back pain to a slipped disk. Regular back exercises can prevent such problems occurring. But who feels like carrying out a complicated training programme in his breaks and leisure time? That’s why we’ve compiled a series of easy but effective exercises here. These can be completed during breaks on the road, in between and without great effort. And to make the whole thing rather more pleasant our Andrea will show you how…

 
 
1. Stretching
Stand with your legs slightly apart. Bend to the side whilst pulling your right elbow  with your left hand. Then change sides. This exercise serves to stretch the lateral abdominal muscles, the shoulder blade muscles and the flexibility of the lumbar portion of the spine and the thoracic spine.

 
 
2. The "half Superman"
Get into the "all fours" position with arms and legs making a right angle with your body. At the same time stretch one leg backwards and the opposing arm forwards – change sides and repeat. Maintain tension in your back.
 

 
 
3. Craftsman
Fold your arms in front of your body. Pull your arms outward to the sides. Maintain the tension for 15 seconds. Repeat several times.
