Exercise Technique

  1. Can be done standing or sitting. Whichever position you choose, hold abdominals in tight to keep the spine in neutral alignment.
  2. Raise your right arm up. Bend at the elbow and reach behind your shoulder blades.
  3. "Walk" your fingers down your back until you cannot go any further.
  4. Hold the elbow with your left hand and gently push backward.

Performance Tips

  1. Actively reach behind before using your hand to push the arm back.
  2. Make sure to keep your abdominals held tight so your lower back will not overarch.
  3. Don't forget to keep breathing.

Repetitions
