This exercise involves a side bend stretch, which helps to improve flexibility and mobility in the lateral muscles of the torso. It's beneficial for enhancing range of motion and reducing stiffness in the sides, commonly used in warm-ups or cooldowns.

How to do it

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and arms at the sides.
  2. Lift one arm overhead, keeping it straight.
  3. Slowly lean to the opposite side, keeping hips stable.
  4. Hold the stretch for a few seconds, feeling the pull along the side.
  5. Return to starting position and repeat on the other side.
