Kneeling side bend

  • Duration: 6 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Weight loss

Kneel upright on a mat with your knees hip-width apart and your hands resting lightly behind your head. This is your starting position. Breathe out as you bend sideways at the waist, lowering your elbow toward your hip only as far as feels comfortable, keeping your hips facing forward. Breathe in as you return to upright, then repeat on the other side. Continue alternating sides for 8 to 10 slow bends.
