Welcome back students! This week we continue on with our survey of the nine body markers which help you free your skeleton from being a prisoner of the soft tissue. If you aren't sure what I'm talking about, or why I'm covering this topic, feel free to go back to last weeks blog and check it out!

So without further ado, let's cover body markers 4, 5, and 6!

Body Marker #4: Groin

Two ways to stretch your groin, using a simple chair, or a special machine.

This weeks vlog discusses a stretch that will protect you from a potentially debilitating groin injury, which often take a long time to heal, and make day-to-day tasks very difficult. My website: http://ramelrones.com/ Twitter: @RamiRones Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ramelrones

Body Marker #5: Hips

There are several ways to stretch your hips, on the floor, a chair, or standing against the wall. We will focus on the hip extension while standing because we can more easily measure your progress with it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: your hips are an incredibly important area of your body. Maintaining proper hip strength and flexibility is key to extending your life's maximum mobility and balance years.

Body Marker #6: Lower Back

There are two stretches that can increase the flexibility of your lower back. First is the one we measure: the chair twist. You should experience 90 degrees of rotation to each side if you are fully flexible. The other stretch is something we call the "Five Musketeers". This stretch will help your lower back stretch from side-to-side. The "five" part of the stretch represents each of the positions you will take when you do the stretch.

This is a great exercise for getting the body back into its proper energy and metabolic cycles to keep you focused and productive at the office. Fewer sick days, more time for vacation!

This is the a great stretch for loosening every part of your lower back. Make sure you support your head and only do what your back can handle!

Remember that the goal of these Body Marker exercises is to make you both strong and flexible, making you powerful. It is key to a full and healthy life, as well as optimal performance.

Happy stretching, deep breathing, empty your mind, strengthen your energetic system, and evoke your spirit!
