1. Side bends. Standing in line at the grocery check out. Instead of picking up the latest issue of People magazine hold your core tight and bend from side to side reaching your finger tips as far down the side of your leg you can go. Or watching TV, pick up some light weights, (two or three pounds) hold them in either hand and bend from side to side. Start with 15 each and work up to 30. Do three to five sets
2. Leg lifts. Lift your bent knee to your opposite elbow curling at your core. Leg is held at 90 degrees and finger tips are behind your head and elbows at 90 degrees. Work each side, opposite knee to opposite elbow 15 on each side and work up to 30. Do three to five sets.
3. Forward bends. Hold your finger tips behind your head and bend forward from your waist in a smooth easy movement down and up. Engage your core and try to do as many as you can in one minute. Do three to five sets.
