The Tai-Chi twist is a great exercise to loosen your spine, get your blood flowing, work on your obliques and aid in digestion.

1. Stand with slightly bent knees shoulder width apart.  Place your hands at your sides and relax your limbs.
2. From here begin twisting your waist back and forth in a circular manner, and let centrifugal force of the twisting move your arms back and forth.
3. When you pick up some speed your arms should whip around and then slap at the your front and back simultaneously as you can see in the second picture.
