This is a great session if you suffer with a lot of lower back pain when lifting or struggle to control your trunk when moving.
Equipment:
Elevated Surface (box, chair, couch, bed or similar)
Yoga Block
Foam Roller (optional)
Wall Space
Kettlebell or Dumbbell (optional) (4-12kgs depending on strength)
