side stretch
Torso flexibility exercise
A side stretch is an exercise that lengthens the muscles along the torso by reaching one arm overhead while bending the spine laterally.
Common in yoga and warm-up routines, it targets the obliques, intercostals, and latissimus dorsi: Hold the side stretch for thirty seconds on each side.
