Standing Side-Bend Hand Behind

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

   • Keep your feet flat on the ground and weight evenly distributed.

2. Hand Positioning:

   • Reach both arms overhead and interlace your fingers or place your palms together.

3. Bending:

   • Slowly lean to the right side, allowing your torso to bend. Keep your hips facing forward and grounded.

   • Hold the bend for a moment, feeling the stretch along your left side.

4. Returning to Center:

   • Return to the upright position, bringing both arms back overhead.

5. Repeat on the Other Side:

   • Now bend to the left side, holding for a moment to stretch your right side.

   • Again, return to the upright position.

6. Repetitions:

   • Aim for 5 to 10 reps on each side, breathing deeply and steadily throughout the exercise.

Tips:

• Keep your movements slow and controlled to prevent any jerking motion.

• Make sure not to twist your hips or upper body; focus on the lateral stretch.

• Keep your neck relaxed, avoiding any strain.
