How to perform it
- Take a slightly wider than hip distance stance with your knees slightly bent.
- Place your right hand on your right hip to support the spine.
- Raise your left arm in a vertical line and place your left hand behind your head. Keep it there as you incline your torso to the right.
- Keep your weight evenly distributed between both legs (don't lean into your left hip). Switch sides.
Muscles worked
The Standing Lateral Stretch primarily targets your Abdominals. No equipment needed — train it anywhere.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Standing Lateral Stretch slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
