The back can bend, stretch and twist. When you sit for a long time, the back will move less fluent. You’ll get a little stiff.
This exercise will keep you flexible and helps you twist your back.
How to do this exercise?
Sit up straight with your feet flat on the ground.
Slowly turn yourself around as far as possible.
Stay a while at the furthest point, around 3 seconds. And then go slowly back.
Oops, what are some common made mistakes?
