Stool Towel Seated Twist

1. Starting Position:
- Sit on a padded stool or any comfortable chair with your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
- Ensure your back is straight and your core is engaged.

2. Towel Setup (if using):
- Take a towel and hold it with both hands, extending it in front of you at shoulder height.
- If not using a towel, simply place your hands together in front of your chest.

3. Twisting Movement:
- Slowly twist your upper body to the right, keeping your hips and lower body facing forward.
- Use your arms to help guide the movement by gently pulling the towel or pushing your hands together to deepen the twist.
- Hold this position for a moment, feeling the stretch in your torso.

4. Returning to Center:
- Gently twist back to the center, returning to the starting position.

5. Repeat on the Other Side:
- Now twist to the left, again using your arms to assist the movement.
- Hold the position briefly before returning to center.

6. Repetitions:
- Aim for 10-12 repetitions on each side, maintaining a smooth and controlled motion.

7. Breathing:
- Inhale as you twist and exhale as you return to center.

8. Tips:
- Keep your movements slow and controlled to avoid straining your back.
- Focus on using your core to aid the twist rather than relying solely on your arms.
- Ensure you do not overextend and listen to your body’s limits. If you feel any discomfort, ease off the twist.
