Sitting Opposite Touch on a Chair

1. Positioning:

   • Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the ground. Your back should be straight and your core engaged.

2. Starting Position:

   • Look straight ahead, keeping your head in a neutral position.

3. Movement:

   • Slowly lift your right leg and bring your knee up toward your chest.

   • At the same time, reach your left hand across your body to touch your right knee or ankle.

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

4. Return to Start:

   • Lower your right leg back down to the ground and return your left hand to the starting position.

5. Repeat:

   • Perform the same movement with your left leg, lifting it up and reaching your right hand across to touch your left knee or ankle.

   • Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:

• Keep your movements slow and controlled to avoid strain.

• Focus on engaging your core throughout the exercise for better stability and support.

• If you feel any discomfort, reduce the height of your knee lift or take a break.
