Standing Pilates Saw

What It Does
Aligns the body and helps with posture; strengthens and stretches the back muscles, also pivotal to core strength.

How to Do It
With your feet 3 to 4 feet apart and slightly turned out, extend arms to the sides at shoulder level. Take a breath; on the exhalation twist your torso to the left, and then reach down and across to your left foot. Inhale as you return to center and repeat on the other side, being careful not to round your back. Alternate right and left. Repeat sequence 10 times (five on each side).
