- Look to the ceiling, and as you stretch upward with your upper body,
push your weight slightly forward from your hips into your front
thigh (see Figure 16-6).
You should feel this stretch travel through your torso and upper body,
including your arms. You should also feel it at the very top of your back
thigh. Repeat with your right leg forward.
