Stretch out -- it's good for your abs and back

Some exercises are better than others at warming up the body and preparing it for more vigorous moves. This one is a good way to warm up your arms, legs and torso muscles while lying on the floor. Because it's excellent for stretching and strengthening your abs and back, use it any time you need to take a break from prolonged sitting or standing.
