How to do it

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a bar with both hands, palms facing down, and hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

  2. Extend your arms straight down in front of you at shoulder height, keeping your back straight and core engaged.

  3. Gently raise the bar overhead and bend them both at 90 degrees to lower them until you feel a stretch in your shoulders.

  4. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds. Repeat as needed.

Form tips

  • Keep your back straight and avoid arching or rounding your spine.

  • Use a lighter bar to ensure proper form and gradually increase the stretch as you become more flexible.

  • Breathe deeply and steadily throughout the stretch to help relax your muscles.
