THE WORKOUT: 5-Minute Thoracic Mobility for Back Pain

► EQUIPMENT: Foam Roller for exercise 1. Or sub a throw pillow.
My oversized yoga mat is from Gorilla Mats (affiliate link): http://gorillamats.com?aff=5​​​
*Discount Code: NourishMoveLove

► INSTRUCTIONS:
5 Thoracic Mobility Exercises
Timed Intervals (40 seconds of work, followed by a 20 second transition between moves)
Repeat All 5 Exercises x1 Set, No Repeats

NOTE: I'll cue this in the video, but it's so important to ACTIVELY keep your body from tensing up as you hold each stretch. Focus on breathing into each stretching exercise, and think about "releasing" the tension in each muscle group to avoid clenching up.
