Dynamic Back Stretch

This stretch is all about getting your back moving like a happy bear after a long nap. With gentle, flowing movements, it helps loosen tight spots, wake up spinal muscles, and get you ready for action - whether that's lifting logs or just standing tall. It's not just stretching - it's active prep for a stronger, more mobile back.

2. Raise your arms overhead.
3. Slowly bend forward at the waist, keeping your back straight.
4. Swing your arms gently from side to side.
