LATERAL SIDE BEND STRETCH

Sets: 1

Reps: 10-15 breaths each side

  • On your knees, extend one leg out to the side.

  • Side bend your trunk in the opposite direction and support yourself with your arm.

  • Reach and extend the top arm in the opposite direction of the extended leg. Open your chest away from the floor.

  • You should feel a gentle stretch along the side body and abdomen, maybe some inner thigh.

  • Hold this for 10-15 breaths, allowing the ribcage to expand on the inhales and recoil back down on the exhales.

  • Repeat on the other side.

Modifications:

  • Decrease the range of motion of the stretch. It is not advised to push through any painful pulling or tugging.
