Side Bends

Step 1

Keep your feet just wider than hip width apart (or a comfortable distance for you)

Brace your tummy like someone is going to poke your stomach and keep your shoulders back with your chest up

Step 3

Put your arms by your sides and gently press your hands into your hips

Step 4

Move your hand down the side of your leg on one side. Only go as far as is comfortable, it’s ok to feel a small stretch

Step 5

Return your body to the upright position and repeat on the other side

Step 6

Don’t let your hips move or ‘pop’ to the side - keep your body in a straight line
