Hit the Hay: Half Happy Baby

To continue with my series of bed stretches, here's a great one to do after the spinal twist and the knee to chest stretches. This one will target the always-tight hips and lower back. It's both relaxing and effective.

To learn how to do this stretch, keep reading.

• Lie on your back with your legs extended.
• Gently bend your right knee and hold on to the sole of your foot with both hands. Gently press your knee toward the bed so it's next to your torso, and just below your shoulder. Your back and head should remain resting on the bed.
• Keep your left leg relaxed in a comfortable position.
• Hold for 30 seconds and then repeat with the left knee bent.
