Seated Rotation Exercise
Seated Rotation
To do a Seated Rotation, sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Shift your weight slightly forward to avoid rounding your back. Relax, and keep your ears, shoulders, and hips aligned.
Fold your arms, elbows just below shoulder height.
Turn from the waist with hips forward. Turn your head last.
Hold for a count of 5. Return to the starting position.
Repeat 5 times on one side. Then switch sides.
