Let's continue our overview of the stretches proposed by Alejandra Salazar. Let's focus on the pelvis area with the lumbar, glutes and abs.

Alejandra Salazar, through her physiotherapist Mirasierra, offers us several series of stretches to perform before a sports session, after, or simply as a daily routine.

Today, 3 interesting areas that we do not necessarily think of stretching but which have their importance on our well-being, to be carried out 3 times 10 seconds:

  • Abdominals
  • Lumbar spine
  • The glutes

Abdominals

Lying on your stomach, place your hands on the floor at head height and lift your upper body, leaving the pelvis in contact with the floor.

Lumbar spine

When standing, feet apart, shoulder width apart, lean on your left side with your left arm alongside your body, the right biceps will stick to your right ear. Then, after tilting to the side, finish with your body slightly forward. Same thing on the right side.

The glutes

Lying on your back, legs bent, put the right ankle on top of the left knee. Grab with both hands the back of the left knee and pull towards you, keeping the lower back in contact with the ground. Ditto with the other leg.
