Excercises

Back Stretch - Sit on one end of the roller and lay back so that your
head is supported on the roller, and your spine is in line with the roller.
Bend knees to provide balance. Bring your arms straight up so that they
are pointing towards the ceiling. Now drop your arms over your head and allow gravity to cause a stretch. This will stretch your latissimus dorsi muscles and help extend your thoracic spine.

Chest Stretch - Sit on one end of the roller and then lay back. Your
head should be resting on the roller and your knees should be bent with
your feet flat on the floor shoulder width apart to provide balance. Bring
both arms up in front of you and bend both elbows to 90 degrees,
forearms will be parallel to the ground. Keeping your elbows bent, open
your arms out to the sides and relax. Let gravity stretch the muscles of
your chest and shoulders.

Abdominal Strengthening Exercise (Beginner) - Sit on one end of the
roller and lay back so that your head is again supported on the roller. Reach your arms out to each side like a T. Have your knees shoulder width apart and bent approximately 90 degrees with your feet flat on the ground. Begin by tightening your stomach muscles trying to pull your belly button to the back of your spine without tucking your tailbone under. Maintaining the neutral position of the spine slowly lift one knee up till your thigh is perpendicular to the ground then lower the leg back to the starting position. Alternate legs until fatigued.
