seated stretch

Floor-based limber movement

A seated stretch is any stretching exercise performed while sitting, whether on the floor, a chair, or a bench.

These stretches target the back, hamstrings, hips, or shoulders without requiring standing or lying down: We finished class with a few seated stretches.

The position offers stability for those with balance issues or limited mobility.
