If you’re not a yogi who by now is more familiar with cat-cow than their own family, it’s high time you learned the mobility exercise. Used for spine mobilization during yoga or workout warm-ups, there’s a reason the cat-cow has become a household name in fitness.
To do the cat-cow stretch, unroll one of the best yoga mats and start in a tabletop position on your hands and knees. As you inhale, gently lower your belly button toward your mat and lift your chin toward the ceiling, creating a soft arch in the back (cow); on the exhale, reverse the movement to draw your upper back toward the ceiling and tuck your chin toward your chest (cat).
