How to perform

Stand or sit with a straight back and feet shoulder-width apart. Raise your right arm overhead, bending your elbow towards your upper back. Gently press your left hand on your right elbow to deepen the stretch. Hold for 15-30 seconds, feeling the stretch in your triceps and shoulder. Repeat on the opposite side.

Tips

Engage your core. Avoid arching your back. Breathe deeply. Stop if you feel pain. Best performed post-workout.
