ABS
Side Bend Stretch
BeginnerBodyweight
A gentle standing stretch that lengthens the obliques and the muscles between your ribs along one side. It helps free up side-to-side motion in the torso and can ease tightness that builds up around the lower back and waist. Handy as a warm-up or a cool-down for posture work.
How to do it
- 1
Stand tall with feet about hip to shoulder width apart.
- 2
Rest one hand on that same-side hip and stretch the other arm straight up.
- 3
Lean your torso toward the hand-on-hip side, letting the raised arm arc over your head.
- 4
Go until you feel an easy stretch down the opposite side, no pain.
- 5
Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then switch and repeat on the other side.
