Exercise Description:
The side lean stretch is a stretching exercise that targets the muscles of the sides of the body, including the obliques and the quadratus lumborum. To perform the stretch, you would begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at your sides. Then, reach your right arm up overhead and lean your body to the left, feeling a stretch along the right side of your body. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds before switching sides and repeating on the other side.
The side lean stretch is a great way to improve flexibility and mobility in the sides of the body. It can also help to relieve tension and tightness in the obliques and other muscles in the sides of the body. Additionally, the stretch can help to improve posture and alignment, and can even help to reduce the risk of back pain. Overall, the side lean stretch is a great addition to any stretching or warm-up routine.
