Muscles worked
How to do it
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees soft, arms bent in front of your chest.
- Rotate your torso to one side, letting the arms follow; keep the hips facing forward.
- Rotate smoothly to the other side.
- Start with a small range and widen it as you warm up; one turn each way is one rep.
