Day 26 - Side Bend + Right Angle Pose

Difficulty - Moderate
Muscle Groups Addressed - Obliques

You can do side-bends or situps....

A great standing exercise you can do at your desk... side-bends can be weighted or unweighted. Regardless, you'll feel a great burn in your obliques and also in your shoulders by adding the right angle yoga move.



Begin in a standing position, and bend slowly to one side. Feel free to stop when you feel a slight stretch in your side, or continue to bend down until you can place your fingertips on the ground or close to it. As you bend, extend your other arm skyward so that both of your arms are perpendicular to the ground. Now come up and repeat on the other side. Boom! Sides stretched.
