Cobra Exercise

This exercise is mainly to stretch your abdominal muscles, excellent for lower back flexibility and overworked crunches. This is known as  Bhujangasana in terms of yoga.

      -  This is a basic Cobra exercise, so go easy while the entire process as it is mainly
          dealing with the spinal cord of your body.
      -  Lie down on your stomach and relax. (recommended to do on a mat).
      -  Make sure your entire body is in rest position.
      -  Rise your chin 45 degrees up and breath in.
   
      -  Now slow lift your upper body breathing out with the help of your elbows with
          your chin facing straight. (place your elbow under the shoulders).
      -  Legs straight and the your feet on the toes.
      -  Hold it for 10 to 20 seconds.

Repeat it for at-least 3 times, good for people suffering from back pain and disc problems. After you get used this position, try to lift your upper body with the help of your arms fully extended, for more effective.



Note: do not put more pressure on your spinal cord.
