Men Over 40 Should Do the Scorpion Stretch for Mobility Gains
Men over 40 can add the scorpion stretch, a floor based mobility exercise, to combat lower back pain and promote better movement.
Spiderman to Scorpion: Eb and Swole
To start, lie face-down on the floor, with your arms extended out on either side. Bend your left knee toward your glute, then squeeze the muscle to raise your left leg straight up, keeping your knee bent. Bring your left leg across your body—if you're able, try to touch the floor on the other side. Your torso will raise off the floor, but don’t let your hands move. Rotate your head along with the movement. When you’ve brought your left foot as close to the ground (and eventually, your right hand) as possible, hold the position for a beat. Then, slowly return to the starting position. Repeat the same movement for the right side of your body to complete one rep.
