| This exercise involves considerable spinal rotation, which can help maximize your flexibility and actively engage your core muscles.
Step 1: Stand with your feet at least shoulder-width apart with arms extended outward from your sides. Bend at your hips while keeping your back straight.
Step 2: Keep one hand down, then swing your other arm out to your side and up toward the ceiling in an arc while keeping your elbow straight and rotating your body. Follow your hand with your head as it swings through the arc.
Be sure to keep your other hand pointing straight down between your knees and visualize trying to touch the floor and ceiling at the same time.
Step 3: Repeat on the other side. This counts as one repetition.
Step 4: Try to perform three sets of 15 exercises and modify them as needed.
T-spine rotations may feel “tight” when you first begin exercising, but they become easier as you warm up. |
