Trunk Flexibility Test #3: Seated forward bend

A tight upper or lower back limits your range of motion. To do this test stretch, follow these steps:
1. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.

2. Inhale and as you exhale round forward a far as you comfortably can, bending at your hips.

3. Make a note at what place on the clock face the back of your head points to.
• 1:00 is tight.
• 2:00 is healthy range of motion.
• 3:00 is very flexible.
