| DAY 9 OF 25 Downward-Facing Dog stretch Keep going with your stretching! Today you'll practice a modified version of Downward-Facing Dog. You'll stand while completing the exercise, using the help of a chair. Just like the floor version, it allows you to build upper body strength while increasing flexibility in your shoulders. Using a chair activates the triceps and the muscles around your shoulder blades. You may also find that with your knees off the ground, you can better stretch your spine.  Duration: 30 seconds. Instructions: - Stand with your feet together and hold onto the top of the chair.
- Step one foot back at a time.
- Using the top of the chair for balance, bend from your hips so your whole body creates a 90-degree angle.
- Your back should be flat and straight and your arms should be fully extended out in front of you.
- Hold the stretch.
- Lift your torso, still holding onto the chair.
- Bring one foot forward followed by the next to return to the starting position.
