LOWER BACK

Seated Twist

BeginnerBodyweight

A seated rotational stretch that opens up the obliques, spine, and glutes. Crossing one leg over and turning into it lengthens the muscles that handle twisting motions. It's a good way to loosen a stiff trunk and restore rotational range after training.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Sit on the floor with both legs stretched out in front of you and your toes pointing up.

  2. 2

    Bend one knee and plant that foot flat on the outside of the opposite knee.

  3. 3

    Keeping your spine long, rotate your upper body toward the bent leg.

  4. 4

    Brace the opposite elbow against the raised knee and press gently to increase the twist.

  5. 5

    Post your other hand on the floor behind you and turn your head to look over your shoulder.

  6. 6

    Hold, breathing into the stretch, then switch sides and repeat.
