Raise your right arm overhead, then gently bend your upper body to the left, keeping your left hand on your left hip for support.
Hold the bend for a few seconds, feeling the stretch along the right side of your body.
Return to the upright position and lower your right arm to its original position.
Repeat the process with your left arm, bending to the right side.
Pro Tip
**Breathe Properly:** Inhale as you stand tall and exhale as you bend to one side. Don't hold your breath during the exercise, as this can create unnecessary tension in your body. A common mistake is to rush through the movements, but remember to sync your breath with each movement for maximum effectiveness. **Engage Your Core:** As you bend to the side, engage your abdominal muscles to support your spine and maintain balance. A common mistake is to relax the core, which can lead to back strain and less effective muscle engagement. **Avoid Overstretching:** Bend to the side only as far as you can comfortably go. Overstretch
