(Be sure you are in good health and cleared by your physician before beginning any type of exercise program.)
Begin Cats Up/Cats Down by placing both hands on the floor directly under the shoulders. Position both of your knees directly under the hips, eyes looking down and back flat.
Then begin extending your lower back upward towards the ceiling. This is the Cats Up position.
Continue to arch the lower back up until it is rounded. Keep the arms straight throughout the exercise. Hold the Cats Up position for 30 seconds.
