5. Stretching the side
Advertisement
Stand with feet 30 to 35 cm apart, arms relaxed. Draw in the abdomen, breathe deeply, and hinge back as if sitting. Lunge right, reaching the right arm to that side while sliding the left hand downward. Hold 8 seconds while leaning slightly right. Move strictly lateral, not forward or back. Repeat 2 to 3 times each side. Each bout lasts about one minute. Use caution with high blood pressure, joint aches, or internal inflammation.
