Standing Twist
Focus on stimulating your elimination organs during the first week of the challenge, including the liver and kidneys, with gentle stretches, like frog pose, spinal twists, and cobra. You'll increase circulation and help your system work more efficiently.
This physically challenging twist will also raise your body temperature, which in turn increases circulation and further stimulates the release of toxins.
Start in a runner's lunge with your right leg bent at a 90-degree angle and your left leg extending straight back behind you, hands on either side of your right foot. Lower your left knee to the floor, and bring your hands into prayer position (palms touching). Take a breath, then exhale, rotating your upper body to the right and bringing your left elbow to the outside edge of your right knee. Stay here for 5 breaths, then repeat on the other side.
