shoulder level and grasp hands together.

hips and knees remain facing straight
forward. Hold the stretch for 5 seconds
and then slowly return to starting
position. Repeat the exercise by slowly
twisting from the waist to the left side.

shoulder width apart, the arms should
be as straight as possible and broughtto
a position behind the back. Interlock the
fingers of both hands and then slowly
raise the wrists as far as possible as you

hold the stretch for 10 seconds before
releasing the fingers and repeating.
Side Bend Stretch
Stand with knees slightly bent, feet
approximately shoulder width apart and
arms in a relaxed position at the side of
the body. Gently bend at the waist to

where it can go no further, keep the

the stretch for 10 seconds. Slowly return
to the starting position and repeat the
