How To Build A Resilient Spine

In a plank pose with one knee bent on the ground and the same side hand behind your head, rotate your trunk so the same side elbow points toward the ceiling.

Once you're comfortable with this movement, when you move back to the starting position, thread your bent elbow down through the space between your other arm that is anchored on the ground and your trunk.

This movement promotes healthy rotation of your spine in both directions, making your back more resilient in varying positions and less apt to be injured.
