My favourite stretch is the one i rave about all the time lying with my back on the ground and my feet up on a chair so my knees are bent at right angles and my arms stretched out to the sides.

I didn't take to it immediately because i tried it first lying in bed and didn't feel anything - you really need to lie on a firm surface - i think carpeted floor or a mat on a hard floor is perfect.

It's a great stretch for the chest muscles, lower back and psoas without giving you the opportunity to stretch the wrong way because your back is supported.

My chiro recommended it to me. Great for anyone who sits a lot - which i think is most people.

It is always the first stretch i do especially when tired because if my back it tight it will just clunk back into the correct shape without any real effort and if i do it first thing early in the morning it's a gentle way to wake up.

Another one Scrap showed me for hamstrings on the ball with your back supported is my very close second favourite which i'll describe if Scrap is ok with it.

I can't remember exactly which things he showed me i was supposed to keep quiet and which not with the exception of TITS so i'd rather stay quiet unless he says otherwise!

Generally i think the best stretches support your back while you do them because it forces you to stretch correctly and to takle any muscular imbalances you might have (and i think most people have a few).
