Bend, Don't Break Workout - complete workout card with exercises and reps
DAREBEE Workout: What it Works
Focus: Upperbody
Type: Yoga
Difficulty: level 2 of 5

Bend, Don't Break is all about finding strength and mobility in your spine. Our backs work hard for us all day, and often bear the fallout from overuse and misuse. Give yours some TLC with this feel good, back-focused workout that stretches and strengthens the muscles that support your spine.

Flow the Cat/Cows with your breath, inhaling into Cow Pose and exhaling into Cat. For the held poses, use your in-breath to help you lengthen your spine and your out-breath to help you move deeper into twists and folds.

Poses:

1. 10 Cat/Cows (Marjariasana/Bitilasana)
2. Supported Camel
3. Camel Pose (Ushtrasana)
4. Child's Pose (Balasana)
5. Gate Pose (Parighasana) - left side
6. Reverse Gate Pose (Viparita Parighasana)
7. Gate Pose (Parighasana) - right side
8. Reverse Gate Pose (Viparita Parighasana)

Awesome effort you put into making quality workouts/plans/programs and that you still continually update and add new ones. Grateful for your promise in keeping this site accessible and free for… Awesome effort you put into making quality workouts/plans/programs and that you still continually update and add new ones. Grateful for your promise in keeping this site accessible and free for people of all fitness levels & goals around the world. Found Darebee some time years ago and used to just save the workouts and then forget about them somewhere in my documents & to do later lists 😅 but coming back to the site this year I loved the organised/simple layout & navigation of the site with full workout video at bottom to see proper form and notes to make things easier or harder depending on your fitness/energy aswell as an extensive exercise library with joint friendly alternatives. I found it much easier to track/check off completed workouts & days on program/plan on dashboard, was more likely to remember & do it + advanced filter made it quick to find a doable workout. As a tiny way to support this site I made account and use the site exclusively for exercises now, will look to donate when I can 🙏🏽 and would recommend it to all I talk to regarding fitness. Thank you Darebee team for the great job you've all done here and keep up the good work. Blessings to you all.
