Sideways stretch

THIS move is great for slimming and toning the midriff and waistline.

Stand up straight, with feet facing forwards, 3ft apart. Breathe in and lift your left hand in the air.

Exhale and, keeping your body in line, slide your right hand down your right leg. Keep your left arm straight, its inner part close to your left ear.

Hold your maximum stretch for a count of five. Inhale and return to upright. Exhale, lower your arm and relax. Repeat on the other side. Do this sequence twice.
