Fitness Tip: Sphinx for Runners

Posted Saturday, September 23, 2017, at 1:13 AM

Targets: Spine
1. Place your elbows under your shoulders with legs relaxed. Keep your head in a neutral position, let it fall forward, or rest it on a block.
Running, poor posture, and aging can flatten the curvature of your spine, which is curved to absorb the stress of movement. Sphinx pose causes a gentle compression to help maintain spinal health and integrity.
