Instructions
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.
Extension:
Inhale deeply and prepare to move.
As you exhale, extend your arms forward, straightening them fully.
Engage your core muscles to maintain stability.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
