The spinal column is comprised of 26 individual bones, these bones are referred to as vertebrae. The spinal column is divided into 5 different areas containing groups of vertebrae and are grouped as follows:

7 cervical vertebrae in the neck.

12 thoracic vertebrae in the upper back corresponding to each pair of ribs.

5 lumbar vertebrae in the lower back.

5 sacral vertebrae which are fused together to form 1 bone called the sacrum.

4 coccygeal vertebrae that are fused together to form the coccyx or tailbone.

The vertebrae are referred to by their name and number, counting down from the top of the spinal column as follows:

The cervical vertebrae are C1 - C7

The thoracic vertebrae are T1 –T12

The lumbar vertebrae are L1 – L5

The sacrum and coccyx. Spinal nerves exit the sacrum and coccyx at levels (Foramen) within the main structure of each vertebra.

Improving your physical existence requires equal parts flexibility and strength.

Teach muscles to absorb force while they get longer before requiring them to generate force with a contraction. This is the idea with "negatives" in resistance training, but I am talking about whole body movements here.

Squats, Founders, Handstands, Bridges, Cartwheels, Lunges, Windmills, Pull Ups, Rock Climbing, Monkey Bars, Push Ups, Planks of all kinds, Yoga, Pilates, Feldenkrais, Planche, Parcour, Dancing (well), Ido Portal method, Gymnastics, Trapeze, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Martial Arts of all kinds, Belly dancing, Walking, Hiking, Running... There are options, feel free to add to the list.

Teach the body to absorb its own weight well and it will help you progress in everything else quickly.
