Stretching Journal (23/6/16) & Observations

1. Head-to-Knee Forward Bend - 15 sec / 5 reps each leg (10 reps in total)
2. Cobra Pose - 20 sec / 9 reps (3 sets of 3 reps, short restorative break between) 
3. Cat stretch - 10 sec / 6 reps x2 
4. Plow Pose - 30 sec / 4 reps 
5. Locust Pose - 25-15-10 sec x2 (6 reps in total) 
6. Side Bend - 3 sec / 18 sec (9 reps per each side) 

At this point you're probably familiarized with all those exercises except nr. 1 and 5. I haven't performed Head to Knee and Locust Pose in the previous sessions.

1. Head to Knee Forward Bend

5. Locust Pose

This was a good session overall. I really felt a good workout in my back. But I still feel like it could have been more intense. I was a bit lazy. It is important to push your limits all the time and flex those muscles to the point that you will have a sore back the next day. 

This session focuses more on forward/backward movements rather than twisting movements. There are two backbends (cobra and locust pose) and two forward bends (head to knee and plow pose), also cat stretch, which is a complete excises having both forward and backward movements.

At this point I'm still experimenting with exercises. I don't have a steady routine, and I'm not sure I'm interested in that. I believe in diversity and I don't like doing the same exercises every day. (I get bored easily :p)
