Back Swing Rotation

Improve flexibility & core strength with Back Swing Rotation. A simple twist for a healthier spine!

Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.

    • Keep your knees slightly bent and your weight evenly distributed on both feet.

  2. Hand Placement:

    • Bring your hands together in front of your chest. You can clasp your fingers or place your palms together.

  3. Engage Your Core:

    • Tighten your abdominal muscles to stabilize your torso.

  4. Rotation:

    • Slowly rotate your torso to the right while keeping your hips facing forward.

    • Make sure the movement is controlled, focusing on using your waist and not your legs.

  5. Back Swing:

    • After reaching the rightmost position, hold for a brief moment.

    • Gradually return to the center.

  6. Repeat on the Other Side:

    • Now rotate your torso to the left, again holding for a moment before returning to center.

    • This completes one full rotation set.

  7. Repetitions:

    • Perform 10-15 repetitions on each side.

    • Make sure to breathe steadily throughout the exercise.

  8. Cool Down:

    • After completing the repetitions, shake out your arms and legs to relax your body.

Tips:

  • Keep your movements slow and controlled to prevent injury.

  • Focus on a full range of motion without overextending.

  • If you're new to this exercise, start with fewer repetitions and gradually increase as you become more comfortable.
