Chair Hip Sway Cuts
- Gentle
- Seated
- Stomach & waist
- Hips
Starts at 21:25 in “Seated Exercises To Rid Tummy Fat For Good!”. The time is from YouTube's automatic chapters, so it may be a few seconds out.
What it is
With your hands at your hips, sway your upper body from side to side in a smooth rhythm. Gentle work for the waist.
How to do it
- Sit tall with feet flat, hands at your hips.
- Shift your ribs and shoulders to one side.
- Sway back through the middle to the other side.
- Keep a steady, comfortable rhythm.
Key tip: Keep your head level. Your ribs move, your chin does not.
Who should skip it, and why
- Your lower back is in a painful flare-up. Repeated side-to-side movement can irritate it.
Easier and harder versions
- Easier
- Make the sway smaller and slower.
- Harder
- Raise one arm as you sway to that side.
How much
In our videos each move runs for about 40 seconds with 20 seconds of rest. Start with less if you need to. Comfortable effort is the goal, not exhaustion.
Stop straight away and get help if you feel:
- chest pain, pressure or tightness
- dizziness, light-headedness or faintness
- breathlessness that doesn't settle when you rest
- sharp or joint pain, or pain that gets worse as you go
- numbness, tingling, or a sudden severe headache
