Brettzel Stretch
A step-by-step guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the movement and what to watch for.
- Equipment
- Bodyweight
HOW TO PERFORM
- Lie on your right side with your head on a cushion.
- Bring the left knee up toward the chest and rest it on the floor in front of you, holding it down with the right hand.
- Bend the right knee behind you and reach back with the left hand to take hold of the right foot.
- Keeping the top knee pinned, rotate the chest open toward the ceiling and let the left shoulder sink toward the floor.
- Breathe out into the rotation and hold, then switch sides.
FORM TIPS
- Keep the top knee on the floor the whole time. If it lifts, the twist moves into the low back.
- If you cannot reach the back foot, loop a strap around it and hold the strap.
