To begin, kneel on the floor on all fours. Make sure your hands are directly underneath your elbows, and your hips are in line with your knees so your legs form a 90 degree angle. Take a deep breath and slowly round your back up towards the ceiling, creating a “c” in your spine from your head to tailbone. As you exhale, draw your belly button in towards your spine to deepen the curve in your back. Hold this position for a few seconds, then slowly release the stretch and let your stomach drop towards the floor, allowing your abdominal muscles to relax. Repeat this move 3-5 times.<a href="http://www.heractivelife.com/women/comment/tip-for-today-cat-stretch/">(<a href="http://www.heractivelife.com/women/comment/tip-for-today-cat-stretch/">Continued...</a>)<br clear="all" /><br> <p style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight:normal; font-family:arial, 'sans-serif'"><a href="http://www.heractivelife.com/women/comment/tip-for-today-cat-stretch/">Read the full article...</a> | <a href="http://www.heractivelife.com/women/comment/tip-for-today-cat-stretch/">Comment on this post</a></p> <p style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight:normal; font-family:arial, 'sans-serif'">Filed under: <a href="http://www.heractivelife.com/women/archive/category/her-fitness/">her-fitness</a>, <a href="http://www.heractivelife.com/women/archive/category/move-of-the-day/">move-of-the-day</a>, <a href="http://www.heractivelife.com/women/archive/category/her-health/">her-health</a>, <a href="http://www.heractivelife.com/women/archive/category/her-motivation/">her-motivation</a>, <a href="http://www.heractivelife.com/women/archive/category/tip-for-today/">tip for today</a><br /><br /> </P>
