Here’s a yoga pose that will help to strengthen your back and abs.  Begin by lying flat on your back.  Keep your arms at your side and make sure that your abs are tight.  Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor.  Now use your abs and your leg muscles to lift your torso from the ground until it is at a 45 degree angle with the floor.  Hold this pose for 30 seconds.  Keep your abs tight as you lower your torso to meet the floor again.  Repeat this movement for two more sets.

The supine spinal twist can help to stretch your back and your gluts.  Begin by lying flat on your back with your legs straight so that your body is parallel to the floor.  Place your arms straight out at your side to where they are perpendicular to the rest of your body.  Bend your right knee and twist to the left to bring your right knee to the floor on your left side, keeping your arms on the floor.  Hold the pose for 60 seconds.  Switch legs and twist in the opposite direction.

The dead bug pose can help to stretch the lower back and hamstrings.  Start by lying on your back.  Bring your knees to your chest as you keep your abs tight.  Place your hands on the outsides of your feet and pull your knees into your armpits.  Make sure that your lower leg is perpendicular to the floor.  Hold this pose for 30 seconds.  Now bring your knees back to your chest again.  Place your feet back on the floor with your knees bent.  Repeat the pose if desired.
