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.
