2. The side bend
Standing with your feet two to three feet apart, bring your arms up to shoulder height and out to the sides. Exhale and raise your right arm over your head as you bend at your waist to the left. Let your left hand slide down your left leg as far as it will go without overly-pulling the muscles on your right side. Inhale and return to your start position and then repeat the side bend to the right. This exercise will help you get rid of side folds and to develop spinal mobility.
