How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with arms and knees up, then reach one leg long and the opposite arm back.
  2. Lower back stays on the floor the whole time.
  3. Breathe out as you reach. Move only as far as your lower back stays on the floor.
  4. Switch sides and repeat. The app tells you when.
