Roll Over Exercise Benefits:

Roll Over exercise gives a good stretch to the back and hamstrings, works hard on the abdominal muscles, and improves spine flexibility. It also calms the nervous system and boosts a good sleeping pattern.

Teaser Exercise Benefits:

Teaser exercise is great for balance, flexibility and spinal mobility because it incorporates the entire core and back to keep the body upright in a V position. It is especially effective for targeting the external obliques, rectus abdominis and hip flexors.
