What are the benefits of the Kneeling Lean Backs Twist exercise?
Release hips.
Strengthen quads and core.
Twists act as masseuses for your stiff spine and also stretch the back muscles. The twisting action aids in restoring the spine’s natural range of motion. When you don’t move through your natural range of motion you run the risk of your joints stiffening. The surrounding supportive soft tissue for your joints will almost certainly become shorter and stiffer if your range of motion is limited.
Twists also help massage the abdominal organs and help you to digest food efficiently, and absorb essential nutrients from your food. By gently twisting your body, you encourage fresh blood to flow to your digestive organs.
Twists also help to detoxify your body.
Twists help to energise your body.
Twists relieve back pain.
Twists help to de-stress because they relax the abdominal muscles.
