Trunk twists are a rotational mobility and core movement where you rotate your torso from side to side to loosen the spine and engage the obliques. They mobilize the thoracic spine and activate the oblique muscles along the sides of your waist, warming the midsection and improving rotational range. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees soft, brace your core, then rotate your torso to one side and then the other in a controlled rhythm, letting your arms swing naturally with the movement. Keep your hips relatively stable so the rotation comes from your trunk rather than just swinging your whole body. Move smoothly and avoid forcing the range or twisting sharply. Trunk twists prepare the spine and core for rotational activity, relieve stiffness from sitting, and reinforce the rotational mobility that supports sports, lifting, and everyday turning and reaching.
