This is a fun “level 2” exercise. Level 2 workouts aren’t only about more difficult exercises but also how you put them together into long sequences and really uniting the timing and the breathing. I’m not even sure if “mess the hair” is what it’s called. But that’s one of the cues for the movement, “mess the hair/fix the hair”.
Some families of exercises and then some exercises within those families, are what I consider “bread & butter” exercises. Simple Twist & Pull is one of my bread & butter exercises. It’s one of my overall favorites.
I do this exercise without fail at least once a week. Inhaling and exhaling. Hinging and reaching. Rocking and spiraling. You get a yawn, core strengthening, opening across the shoulders and chest, opening across the back. And, as I usually say, it feels great.
