Spinal Twists, all of them, are my favorite exercise. These stretches provide a host of benefits to your spine, your hips, your posture, and your breathing capacity. Pay close attention to your spine. You should not be hunched over or arching back. You should strive to keep your spine as long and upright as possible through the twist. Depending upon which side you are stretching, one lung is working harder than the other. This will help to expand your lung capacity particularly in areas of your lungs that you may not use often.

All of the exercises in the Spinal Twist Series have the following benefits:

- Relieves thoracic or mid-back spinal tension
- Strengthens you abdominal oblique muscles
- Stretches your hip rotators and hips
- Lengthens, relaxes, and realigns your spine
- Massages your internal organs
- Benefits the soft tissues that surround the spine
- Enhances the health of the discs and facet joints between your vertebrae
