Standing Side Raise Twist

1. Starting Position:
- Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your arms bent at the elbows and raised in front of you at shoulder height.

2. Engage Core:
- Tighten your abdominal muscles to stabilize your body throughout the movement.

3. Raise Your Arms:
- As you begin the exercise, raise your arms upward towards the ceiling while keeping your elbows slightly bent.
- This motion should feel like you are lifting your arms straight up.

4. Twist Your Body:
- While your arms are raised, twist your torso to the right side.
- Ensure your head turns to follow your arms and focus on the movement.

5. Return to Center:
- Without lowering your arms, twist your torso back to the starting position in the center.

6. Twist to the Left:
- From the center, repeat the twist, this time to the left side, again ensuring your head follows your arms.

7. Repeat Movement:
- Continue alternating twists from right to left, performing about 10-15 repetitions on each side.
- Maintain a steady pace and control your movements to maximize engagement and prevent injury.

8. Breathing:
- Inhale as you raise and twist your arms upwards, and exhale as you return to the center.

9. Cool Down:
- After completing your repetitions, gently lower your arms and bring your feet back together.
- Stand tall and take a moment to breathe deeply and relax your body.
