1. Squat Spinal Twist

Benefits

• Squatting helps eliminate excess leg fat.

• Massages abdominal organs, activates the intestines, and promotes the elimination of toxins from the body.

• Nourishes the back nerves, maintains spinal flexibility, and makes the spine more supple.

Steps

1. Stand naturally with legs together, spine straight, and hands in prayer position in front of your chest, looking straight ahead.

Repeat 4 times

2. Bend your knees and keep the upper body still, maintaining smooth breathing.

3. Apply force with your right arm and move both hands to the left side while turning your head in the same direction, looking straight ahead.

4. Exhale, squat down, chest and abdomen close to the thighs, and turn the upper body to the left with the right upper arm on the outside of the left thigh. Inhale and look up.

5. Keep your body in the same position and stretch your right arm downwards, placing the right palm on the ground outside the left foot with fingertips pointing forward. Extend your left arm upwards and look at your left fingertips, feeling the maximum twist of your body. Hold for 5 seconds, then relax and repeat the same movement on the other side.

Tips

During the twisting process, the speed should be slowed down, and the focus should be on the back. Observe how your body reacts, and if severe pain occurs in the back, stop immediately.
