How to do it

  1. Sit up straight on an exercise mat.
  2. Touch the soles of your feet together with your feet six to eight inches in front of your hips.
  3. Place one hand on the floor beside you and your other hand behind your head.
  4. Lift your elbow to the ceiling as you incline your torso to the other side. Hold for 10 to 20 seconds, then switch sides.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Seated Overhead Stretch from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Abdominals volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
