Instructions

Side-to-Side Rotational Arm Extension

Positioning:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Keep your knees slightly bent.
3. Engage your core muscles to maintain stability.
4. Raise your arms out to the sides at shoulder height, palms facing down.
5. Your body should be straight, and your head should be looking forward.

Movement:

1. Rotate your torso to the right while keeping your arms extended.
2. As you rotate, allow your arms to move in an arc, following the direction of the torso.
3. Ensure your feet remain planted and your knees do not twist with your torso.
4. Return to the starting position, facing forward.
5. Repeat the movement to the left side.
6. Continue alternating sides for a set number of repetitions or a specific duration.

Tips:

- Keep your movements controlled to avoid injury.
- Focus on engaging your core throughout the exercise.
- Maintain a steady breathing pattern: exhale when rotating, and inhale when returning to the center.
