Instructions

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.

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

  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.
