The Amazing Stickie and Spine Twist






The Amazing Stickie likes to ensure that she works in all planes of motion to keep herself supple and mobile.  Today she is doing Spine Twist to work in the transverse plane.

She begins sitting on the floor with her legs out in front of her at an angle that is about the width of a yoga mat.  Her arms are raised at shoulder height out to the sides, palms facing forward and elbows soft.  She inhales to lengthen her spine toward the ceiling.  As she exhales, she twists her body to one side, making sure that her arms stay in the same relationship to her torso.  It is as if she is a doll with no moveable joints in her upper body; only her waist can twist.  Then she returns to the start position and repeats on the other side.

 

Stickie does about five reps on each side.
