Instructions

Sitting Opposite Touch on a Chair

1. Positioning:
- Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the ground. Your back should be straight and your core engaged.
- Extend your arms out to the sides at shoulder height to help with balance.

2. Starting Position:
- Look straight ahead, keeping your head in a neutral position.

3. Movement:
- Slowly lift your right leg and bring your knee up toward your chest.
- At the same time, reach your left hand across your body to touch your right knee or ankle.
- Hold the position for a moment, feeling the stretch in your side.

4. Return to Start:
- Lower your right leg back down to the ground and return your left hand to the starting position.

5. Repeat:
- Perform the same movement with your left leg, lifting it up and reaching your right hand across to touch your left knee or ankle.
- Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:
- Keep your movements slow and controlled to avoid strain.
- Focus on engaging your core throughout the exercise for better stability and support.
- If you feel any discomfort, reduce the height of your knee lift or take a break.
