How to Standing Side Stretch

Starting Position

Stand or sit and raise both hands above your head to grab the opposite elbow.

Proper Form

1. Keep your back straight and slowly lean your upper body to one side.

2. Go down as far as you can and feel the stretch in your side.

3. Hold for 10 to 20 seconds, then slowly return to the center.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when leaning to the side, and breathe naturally while holding the position.

Precautions

Do not bend your upper body forward; lean only to the side. Do not bend your waist and keep your spine straight. Do not lean too deeply; only go to the point where you feel a stretch.
