Now for this exercise, we're going to do an inner groin stretch, a hamstring stretch, as well as balancing, strengthening of the quadricep, of the abductor, on the outside of the leg, and of the psoas muscle. So we're gonna get of our a lot of our core musculature with the psoas, the inner thigh, and also the outher thigh, the front of the leg, and the back of the leg. So we're really working out the muscle that support the back of the body, the core structures of the body. So if you got back pain, you need the strength of the core. You need to balance the core. And then if there is a deficiency, strengthen were it is deficient. But first you have to balance. That means lengthening some muscles, and shortening others. Shortening and strengthening can mean the same; in this case they don't. So we're balancing out the tensioning of the different muscles supporting the core structures of the body. You will need a yoga strap for this exercise. I generally use a regular yoga strap. It's has really a pretty simple, straightforward webbing; it has a nice clip on one end; its got a nice metal end on the other side, and it's different kinds that you can get. I use this one; its nice and wide; I like the wide straps. There's thinner ones that have other uses. And you can use a strap, if you don't have a strap, you can use a belt from your closet. Or you can use a towel or a sheet, or a sash or anything. Or if you have a martial arts belt that would work really well. Or you can buy one from my website or you can go to your local yoga store or Walmart or whatever. Get yourself, I highly recommend it. It's a really useful tool; it's really not expensive. So to start out, first, I'm going to lie on my back, knees bent, feet facing the same direction of the body. I'm going to take my hands underneath my buttocks, drag my buttocks towards my feet to lenghten my back. So my back is completely flat against the ground. My spine is completely released/relaxed against the ground. And I'm going to straigthen my legs slowly, working my quads hard as if I'm pressing into a wall. So notice, my feet are vertical, they're not flopping, as if I'm pressing into a wall. Now you can use a wall. A wall can be very useful, I highly recommend it. If you are on a slippery floor you want to use and to be on a sticky mat, or a yoga mat. Again you can buy it on my site, or on ebay, or anywhere locally. In this case, I'm using a carpet, it's a thin carpet, and its got traction. Then I bend my right leg; I'm going to place the strap just under the ball of the foot of my right leg, straighten that leg to ninety degrees, upward. Or to wherever I can straighten it. Now I'm working/contracting my right quadricep hard, hard; I'm really working it, and also my left quadricep. Remember that you're working your legs as if you are pushing into a wall, or if you have a wall, then push your leg, the one that is not raise ninety degrees upward, into the wall. This really improves the action; this is not a passive stretch at all. People say that yoga is passive stretching; it is for girls. Baloney. Yoga can be a powerful strengthening and power building set of maneuvers. I highly suggest this to remove back pain. Push hard into the legs. Now I raise my leg ninety degrees parallel to my body, then I tighten the strap with my right hand and slowly move my right leg sideward. I'm notletting my right leg drop, I'm controlling it. I'm pushing out through my right foot as if there's a wall there. Keep your left hip down, flat on the floor; your left foot pushing even harder as if I'm pushing into a wall. It doesn't matter how low my right foot drops as long as your left hip is down flat on the floor. It's the action of pushing my right leg down from the trunk, through the leg. Then I bring my right leg up, in a ninety degree angle parallel to my body, I'm gonna pull the strap, bend my knee, slowly lower my leg, and do the other side.
