The Seated Oblique Stretch is a dynamic exercise focusing on the side muscles of your core. Whether on a chair or the floor, gently twist from the waist, promoting flexibility and enhancing rotational mobility.
Starting position
- Sit on the floor or a chair with a tall spine.
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and core engaged.
Motion
- Inhale deeply, lengthening your spine.
- Exhale, twisting from your waist to one side.
- Hold for the duration shown on the countdown.
- Inhale to the center and repeat on the opposite side.
Tips
- Initiate the twist from your core, avoiding excessive shoulder movement.
- Maintain a gentle stretch; avoid over-twisting to prevent strain.
