Seated Side StretchRepeat for each leg/arm
The Seated Side Stretch targets the obliques, hips, and shoulders. Sit with legs extended or in a chair and stretch to one side, lengthening the torso and improving lateral flexibility.

- Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight out in front of you, or sit comfortably in a chair with your feet flat on the floor.
- Keep your spine tall and engage your core muscles.
Motion
- Inhale deeply, lengthening your spine and sitting tall.
- Exhale slowly as you reach one arm overhead and towards the opposite side, creating a gentle stretch along your side body.
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and your neck long.
- Hold the stretch for the duration of the countdown timer.
- When prompted, switch sides and repeat the stretch on the opposite side.
