Side Body Bend with Tricep & Calf Raise Stretch

Setup

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart.

2. Reach both arms straight overhead.

3. Clasp your right wrist with your left hand, gently pulling the right arm to guide the stretch.

Movement

1. While maintaining a steady posture, engage your core.

2. Slowly lean your upper body to the left side while simultaneously rising onto the balls of your feet in a calf raise.

3. Return to the starting neutral position with heels back on the floor.

4. Perform the movement in a slow, controlled flow to emphasize the stretch in your obliques and side body.

Tips

• Keep your chest open and avoid hunching forward.

• Coordinate the side bend and the calf raise to occur as one fluid, synchronized movement.
