Seated Band Thoracic Rotation

Start seated with the legs wide on a bench. Hold onto a thin resistance band with a pistol grip on each hand and palms facing away from you. Lower your torso until it is between your legs. Push one arm into the inside of your leg while twisting the torso to reach the other arm back towards the ceiling, Spend a few seconds actively reaching back trying to lengthen the obliques and improve your mobility each rep. Perform the designated reps and then switch sides.

Trainer Tips: If you need more tension, use a thicker band, or choke up on the band starting with a more narrow grip. The more mobility you have the lower you can bring your support arm. The second demonstration in the video shows the exercise being done with the hand on the ground instead of elbow inside the thigh.
