Band Seated Twist Instructions

Start by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.
Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor.
Place your hands behind your hips with your fingers pointing towards your feet.
Engage your core and lift your feet off the floor, balancing on your sit bones.
Slowly twist your torso to the right, bringing your left elbow to the outside of your right knee.
Hold the twist for a few breaths, feeling the stretch in your spine and obliques.
Slowly return to center and repeat the twist on the other side, bringing your right elbow to the outside of your left knee.
Continue alternating sides for several repetitions.
When you’re finished, lower your feet back to the floor and release your hands from behind your hips.
