Standing Side Reach
Full-body side-body stretch
How to
Standing with feet hip-width apart, reach one arm straight overhead and lean your torso to the opposite side, feeling a stretch along the whole side of your body from hip to fingertips.
Benefits
- Stretches the whole side body in one simple movement
- A good full-body opener to start or end a stretching session
- Improves the side-bending range of motion used in everyday reaching
Practice
Hold 15-20 seconds per side, keeping hips facing forward rather than twisting toward the reach.
