How to do it
Raise your arms overhead, turn your torso to one side and reach upward.
Return to center and repeat on the other side.
About Overhead Twist Reach
Overhead Twist Reach combines an upward reach with a torso turn, then returns to center before changing sides. The elevated arm position makes the turning pattern more involved than a waist-only rotation.
What to focus on
- Keep the turn small enough to return without an extra step.
- Regain the center before reaching toward the other side.
Make the movement smaller
Keep the arms nearer chest height and reduce the turn.
A mistake to watch for
Forcing the twist while the feet feel fixed. Reset the stance and use a smaller range.
Practice time and pacing
The app assigns 30 seconds to Overhead Twist Reach. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
Where you will practice it
It first appears on day 3 of the Standing Beginner 30-Day Plan. The day count below follows the extended version; shorter days can use fewer movements.
