Performing body rolls

Step 2

Now pull your arms back towards your shoulders and slide them down the side of your body towards the floor.

Step 3

Lean your chest backwards and arch your back slightly as you move your hands.

Step 4

Next, lean your body forwards as you end up with your hands at hip level. You can bend your left leg slightly at this stage.

Step 5

Now lunge your left foot forwards and bend your right leg such that only the ball of your foot in on the floor. Note that your hands should be facing the floor (same level as your left knee).

Step 6

Lift your left foot off the floor and flick your heel behind you. Then cross your left arm over your right arm. Now uncross your arms and circle them around at the side of your head.

Step 7

Lastly, push your arms back towards the floor level and step your right foot forwards.

Consult your health practitioner

Always remember to consult with your health practitioner before starting any new exercise regime or making intense changes to your current one – especially if you suffer from any medical conditions and for some reason are required not to place your body or yourself under any form of stress or strain.
