Inhale, rotate your elbow down towards your wrist. Exhale, slowly rotate your torso upward, leading with your elbow and eyes, maximizing upper back rotation. Maintain stable hips and lower back. Return to start.
Initiate the movement by leading with your elbow, focusing on rotating it downwards before engaging your torso to ensure proper form and avoid lower back strain. Keep your hips level throughout the exercise to prevent excessive swaying and maintain core stability, which will help protect your spine. Actively rotate your chest towards the ceiling to fully engage your upper back muscles and maximize the rotational range of motion. Focus your gaze in the direction of your rotation to help guide your torso and ensure you're achieving the desired spinal twist.
