How to perform

Stand or sit tall, shoulders relaxed. Extend one arm across your body to shoulder height. Gently pull the extended arm towards your chest with your opposite hand. Hold for 15-30 seconds, feeling a stretch in your shoulder. Release and repeat on the other side.

Tips

Keep shoulders relaxed. Avoid forcing the stretch; it should be comfortable. Breathe deeply. Best performed post-workout to aid recovery. Maintain a straight back.
