Description: Take a large step forward by bending the front knee to about 90 degrees, then slowly rotate your trunk toward the side of the front leg. Return to the starting position in a controlled manner. Repeat on the other side.

Tips: Keep your back straight and gaze forward during the rotation. Ensure the front knee does not go past the toes to protect the joint.
