Side Bend

  1. Sit on your left hip with your left leg bent on the floor in front of you and your left hand directly beneath your shoulder. Place your right foot flat on the floor just in front of your left foot so your right knee points to the ceiling. Rest your right arm on your right knee.
  2. Pull your abdominals in, press into your left hand, and lift your hips off the floor. As you come up, extend both legs and raise your right arm over your head so you form a line from your right fingers to your right toes. You should be balancing on your right foot and left hand. Avoid sinking by tightening your inner thighs and abs so you feel lifted. Hold for 10 to 30 seconds. Lower and repeat on the other side.
