TRX Side-Bend

1. Begin by securing your suspension trainers above you, making sure they are firmly anchored.

2. Stand directly beneath the suspension trainer and hold the handles with an overhand grip. Your arms should be fully extended overhead and your feet shoulder-width apart.

3. Ensure your body is in a straight line from your head to your heels.

4. Engage your core and maintain a strong grip on the handles.

5. Slowly bend your torso to one side as far as you can while keeping your arms straight. You should feel a stretch down the side of your torso that is stretching.

6. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement.

7. Return to the starting position by contracting your obliques and pulling your torso back up to an upright position.

8. Repeat for the desired number of reps before switching to bend to the other side.

Ensure you maintain control throughout the exercise, focusing on using your obliques to initiate the movement. Keep your movements slow and precise to avoid swinging or using momentum, which could reduce the efficacy of the exercise and increase your risk of injury.
