Hip Twist with Outstretched Arms
Progressive Layers Inspiration
These are examples and designed to spark your own creativity. I have only done one or two repetitions of each layer. When teaching you should do as many repetitions as appropriate for your group and stop at the level when everyone has been sufficiently challenged. Encourage people to stay at a level that suits them on that day.

Make it more challenging
Special Considerations
Prenatal considerations
Osteoporosis considerations
Not appropriate for osteoporotic clients due to the loaded spine rotation and lumbar flexion.
Modify by leaning back on forearms and maintaining natural spine position.
A prop could be added under the back for more support. Do a smaller leg movement (knees bent, single leg or double legs depending on strength and flexibility). Keep back and upper body still throughout.
