# Standing Reverse Shoulder Stretch

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, keeping your posture upright.

## How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, keeping your posture upright. Clasp your hands behind your back, interlocking your fingers.
2. Straighten your arms and slowly lift your hands upwards, feeling a stretch in your shoulders.
3. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, and return to the starting position by lowering your hands and releasing the clasp.
4. 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.
