Journalists from Tinkoff Magazine revealed the secret of the “opening a book” exercise. This is reported in the publication’s material.
The article claims that the exercise improves mobility of the thoracic spine. In addition, it prevents degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs and reduces the likelihood of back pain. The exercise can be included both in the warm-up before training and in the final part of the lesson.
To perform “opening a book,” you need to lie on your side, put one hand under your head, and extend the other in front of you. Then you need to bend your legs and stretch with the top of your head. As you inhale, you need to stretch your free hand back and turn your chest toward the ceiling, and as you exhale, return to the starting position.
Earlier in the magazine they talked about the benefits of performing the “Russian twist” exercise. The rectus and oblique abdominal muscles are actively involved in this exercise, which allows for a comprehensive impact on the abs.
