Arm Torso Extension Twist

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

   • Keep your knees slightly bent.

   • Hold your arms in front of you at chest height with your elbows bent and hands together, palms facing inward.

2. Extension:

   • Inhale deeply and prepare to move.

   • As you exhale, extend your arms forward, straightening them fully.

   • Engage your core muscles to maintain stability.

3. Torso Twist:

   • As you extend your arms, twist your torso to the right, pivoting on your left foot.

   • Keep your hips facing forward while allowing your upper body to turn.

4. Return to Center:

   • After completing the twist, return your arms to the starting position while rotating your torso back to face forward.

   • Briefly pause in this position.

5. Repeat on Other Side:

   • Now twist your torso to the left and repeat the arm extension.

   • Alternate between twisting to the right and left for a set amount of repetitions (e.g., 10-15 times per side).

6. Form Tips:

   • Keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed throughout the movement.

   • Move in a controlled manner to engage your muscles effectively.

   • Avoid overextending your arms or straining your back.

7. Cool Down:

   • After finishing your repetitions, take a moment to stretch your arms and torso to relieve any tension.

Note: Always listen to your body and modify movements as needed. If you're new to exercise, consider consulting a fitness professional.
