Stool Towel Seated Twist

Starting Position:

• Sit on a padded stool or any comfortable chair with your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.

• Ensure your back is straight and your core is engaged.

Towel Setup (if using):

• Take a towel and hold it with both hands, extending it in front of you at shoulder height.

• If not using a towel, simply place your hands together in front of your chest.

Twisting Movement:

• Slowly twist your upper body to the right, keeping your hips and lower body facing forward.

• Use your arms to help guide the movement by gently pulling the towel or pushing your hands together to deepen the twist.

• Hold this position for a moment, feeling the stretch in your torso.

Returning to Center:

• Gently twist back to the center, returning to the starting position.

Repeat on the Other Side:

• Now twist to the left, again using your arms to assist the movement.

• Hold the position briefly before returning to center.

Repetitions:

• Aim for 10-12 repetitions on each side, maintaining a smooth and controlled motion.

Breathing:

• Inhale as you twist and exhale as you return to center.

Tips:

• Keep your movements slow and controlled to avoid straining your back.

• Focus on using your core to aid the twist rather than relying solely on your arms.

• Ensure you do not overextend and listen to your body’s limits. If you feel any discomfort, ease off the twist.
