How to do it
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, one hand on your waist and the other raised overhead.
Bend to the opposite side, then switch hands and repeat.
About Side Reach Stretch
Side Reach Stretch uses one hand at the waist and the other overhead, with a bend toward the opposite side. The hands change roles for the second side.
What to focus on
- Keep both feet grounded as the upper body bends.
- Return upright before changing the hand position.
Make the movement smaller
Use a small reach with the upper hand below its full overhead range.
A mistake to watch for
Reaching downward through the waist to make a deep bend. Keep the side motion short and controlled.
Practice time and pacing
The app assigns 30 seconds to Side Reach Stretch. 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 4 of the Standing Easy 30-Day Plan. The day count below follows the extended version; shorter days can use fewer movements.
