How to do it
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, keeping your posture upright. Clasp your hands behind your back, interlocking your fingers.
Straighten your arms and slowly lift your hands upwards, feeling a stretch in your shoulders.
Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, and return to the starting position by lowering your hands and releasing the clasp.
Repeat the stretch for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
Focus on keeping your arms straight and avoiding any bending at the elbows.
Ensure your shoulders remain relaxed and avoid tensing them up towards your ears.
Use a gentle motion to avoid over-stretching and potential muscle strain.
