How to do it

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms straight down by your sides.

  2. Explosively swing your arms upwards in a wide arc until they are overhead, stretching your back muscles dynamically.

  3. Immediately swing your arms back down to your sides in a controlled manner, allowing your back to relax.

  4. Repeat the movement continuously for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Keep your movements fluid and controlled to maximize the stretch and avoid any sudden jerks that could cause injury.

  • Engage your core muscles to support your lower back throughout the movement.

  • Ensure your knees are slightly bent to maintain balance and reduce strain on your lower back.
