Day 3, July 5th 2016

1. Touch Toes - 20 sec / 20 reps
2. Bow Pose - 20 sec / 8 reps
3. Half Twist - 10 sec / 10 reps x2
4. Side Bend - 3 sec / 10 reps x2

Day 4, July 6th 2016

1. Cat&Cow Stretch - 10 sec / 10 reps x2
2. Plow Pose - 30 sec / 4 reps
3. Fish Pose - 25 sec / 4 reps
4. Locust pose - 20 sec / 6 reps 

In those two sessions I reduced the number of exercises and increased the number of reps for some of them to compensate. My body reacted well and today I felt a slight soreness in my back again, after a long time. This proves once again that changing variables in your routine doesn't let the body to adapt to the movements, which is good.
