If you feel pain in your knee, the angle of the front knee is too blunt. In this case, pull your foot back.
Front Arm Line Opener
Place your hand on a wall at about shoulder height with your fingertips pointing down. The stretch band is in the palm of each hand. Turn your upper body up to the opposite side. Go to the maximum chest opening.
The higher up on the wall you place your hand, the more intense the exercise becomes.
Lunge Twist

Half Kneeling Twist
Come to a half kneeling position. Grasp the stretch band with your fingertips and bring it behind your head. Rotate your upper body to the opposite side of the back leg. Your gaze follows your hand.
Half Kneeling Backbend

Side Body Opener
Grasp the stretch band with your fingertips. Guide the band over your head. Slide your pelvis to one side. At the same time, bring your upper body to the maximum lateral tilt. Pull down with your other hand. Hold the position.

Loaded Neck Stretch
