How to perform

Sit with knees bent, feet flat. Hold a resistance band taut with both hands. Lean back slightly, engaging your core and maintaining a straight back. Anchor the band under your feet or have a partner hold it for resistance. Twist your torso to the right, pulling the band across your body, arms extended. Return to center, then twist to the left, controlled. Alternate sides, maintaining band tension.

Tips

Engage your core to protect your lower back. Prioritize controlled movements. Coordinate shoulder and hip movement. Exhale on the twist, inhale returning to center. Reduce range of motion if lower back discomfort occurs.
