Today's Lunar Exercise

Kidneys and lower back

The Moon in Libra will inspire you to have a beautiful and aesthetic body. However, the first and foremost aim of physical exercises is health rather than beauty. By strengthening your muscles you improve the health of your internal organs. Abdominal muscles are responsible for both the beautiful abs, keeping kidneys in their place and protecting them.

Tip

All the exercises are to be done at a slow pace. Don't forget to have a 30-40-sec break after the most difficult exercises.
