About Seated Cross Reach Right

Seated Cross Reach Right sweeps the right arm outward, upward, and across toward the opposite foot. Both feet remain planted, so the reach is organized over a steady seated base.

What to focus on

Keep the feet supported as the arm crosses.
Reverse the arm path slowly to return upright.

Make the movement smaller

Reach toward the opposite thigh rather than the foot, using a short arc.

A mistake to watch for

Reaching so far that the hips shift off the seat. Keep the target higher and nearer.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Seated Cross Reach Right. 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.

Set a firm chair on a nonslip surface and leave room for the arm and leg movements shown. A chair without wheels keeps the setup steady.
