Chair Seated Core Twist

Sitting Core Twist on a Chair

1. Starting Position:

   • Sit comfortably on the chair with your feet flat on the floor.

   • Position your hips all the way back against the chair.

   • Keep your back straight, chest up, and shoulders pulled back.

2. Arm Position:

   • Extend your arms out to the sides at shoulder height.

   • Your palms should be facing down and arms should be parallel to the floor.

3. Engaging Your Core:

   • Take a deep breath and engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button in towards your spine.

4. Twisting Movement:

   • Slowly rotate your torso to the right while keeping your hips square and facing forward.

   • As you twist, maintain the position of your arms and use your core muscles to support the movement.

   • Hold this position for a moment, focusing on your breath.

5. Returning to Center:

   • Gently return to the starting position, facing forward again.

6. Repeat on the Other Side:

   • Now, repeat the twist to the left.

   • Hold the position for a moment, then return to the center.

7. Repetitions:

   • Aim to complete 5-10 repetitions on each side.

   • Remember to breathe steadily throughout the movements.

Key Tips:

• Move slowly and with control to avoid any strain.

• Keep your movements fluid and intentional.

• If you feel any discomfort in the back or shoulders, reduce the range of motion or stop the exercise.

Performing this exercise regularly can help improve core strength and flexibility.
