This is an excerpt from FallProof! 3rd Edition by Debra J. Rose,Elizabeth White.

Seated Trunk Rotation

• Seated trunk rotations target the muscles in the abdomen, back, and shoulders.
• Sit tall in the middle of a chair, with the feet flat on the floor and hip-width apart.
• Hold a small hand weight or a weighted ball in both hands.
• Lean back slightly, opening the angle at the hip while maintaining a straight back.
• Exhale and slowly rotate the upper body, hands, and head to one side (figure 8.21). Hold the position briefly before returning to an upright seated position.
• Repeat the exercise to one side multiple times before switching to the other side.
