This is a simple spinal twist and it is designed to rotate all of your spinal joints in the same direction and hold for at least 15 seconds. This should not be done to a point of pain or a point of muscle spasms.

Spinal motion is the best way to stimulate and 'power' your brain and rotation to end range of motion gives you the strongest stimulation of this physiologic process in your body.

Think about a dog, cat, or baby and how they each have a way of stretching their body when they wake up. We are the only animal right now that doesn't move and learn at the same time because we have unhealthily conditioned ourselves to since we were 5 years old. This easy stretch is the best way to stimulate your brain and give it energy.

Standing up from your seat at work and twisting in both directions like this is a great way to feed your brain and keep it working for you through your work day. Everyone has 30 seconds every hour to get up and do this exercise to keep their brains active. If spinal motion feeds your brain, and you need your brain to work, then it is essential to do this! Regain your spinal and brain health by twisting and holding every day at least 4 times a day!
