This week, Michelle Dozois demonstrates the breast stroke. The breast stroke is a back-extension exercise, so with all extension exercises it’s important that you keep your neck in alignment. It’s a tendency when we’re extending the spine to throw the head back, so make sure you are mindful of that. Start on your front, your hands are by your side and your legs are abducted together.
