Do a seated spinal twist for 30 seconds each side
Por qué este hábito ayuda
This simple twist acts like wringing out a sponge for your spine - releasing built-up tension while stimulating circulation to spinal discs.
In yoga tradition, twists are considered 'detoxifying' as they massage internal organs and improve lymphatic flow.
Lo que harás en 1 minuto
- Rotates thoracic vertebrae often stiff from sitting
- Stimulates vagus nerve (calms nervous system)
- Improves rib cage mobility for deeper breathing
- Relieves pressure on lumbar discs
- Enhances proprioception (body awareness)
Resumen rápido
Modern life keeps us locked in forward-facing positions - phones, computers, steering wheels. The seated twist is an antidote to this movement poverty, reintroducing rotational range we're evolutionarily designed to maintain.
Physical therapists call this 'taking your spine for a walk' - maintaining the 30+ degrees of rotation capacity needed for daily activities.
Cómo empezar ahora mismo
- Sit tall before twisting - imagine a string lifting your head
- Initiate rotation from your navel, not shoulders
- Use chair arms for gentle leverage if needed
- Breathe into the side ribs that feel compressed
- Progress slowly - only twist as far as you can maintain steady breath

💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
As a truck driver, I started doing these twists at rest stops. After two weeks, the chronic tightness between my shoulder blades disappeared. Now I teach it to other drivers at my depot!
