    How to: Diagonal Reach on Chair

    1. Sit on the edge of a chair with your feet flat on the floor.
    2. Engage your core and reach one arm diagonally across your body towards the opposite side.
    3. Return to the starting position and alternate arms.

    Common Mistakes

    • Leaning too far to one side causing imbalance.
    • Not engaging the core properly.

    Modifications

    • Perform with a smaller range of motion if flexibility is limited.
    • Use a support such as a wall or table for stability.

    Tips

    • Keep your back straight while reaching to avoid strain.
    • Engage your core muscles to maintain balance.
    • Go slow and controlled to maximize effectiveness.
