How to do it

  1. Roll a towel lengthwise into a thick rope.
  2. Stand or sit tall. Hold the towel in front of you with both hands, a little apart.
  3. Twist your hands in opposite directions to wring the towel as tightly as you can.
  4. Hold the squeeze for 2–3 seconds, then relax.
  5. Next time, twist in the other direction.

Breathing: Breathe out as you twist, breathe in as you relax. Don't hold your breath.

How much to start with: 2–3 sets × 8–10 twists (both directions)

❌ Common mistakes

  • Shrugging your shoulders and tensing your whole body.
