The Seated Oblique Stretch is a dynamic exercise focusing on the side muscles of your core. Whether on a chair or the floor, gently twist from the waist, promoting flexibility and enhancing rotational mobility.

Starting position

  1. Sit on the floor or a chair with a tall spine.
  2. Keep your shoulders relaxed and core engaged.

Motion

  1. Inhale deeply, lengthening your spine.
  2. Exhale, twisting from your waist to one side.
  3. Hold for the duration shown on the countdown.
  4. Inhale to the center and repeat on the opposite side.
Tips
  1. Initiate the twist from your core, avoiding excessive shoulder movement.
  2. Maintain a gentle stretch; avoid over-twisting to prevent strain.
