How to do it

Starting position

  1. Stand next to a wall and extend your arm behind you.
  2. Place your palm against the wall.
  3. Turn your hand so your thumb points down.

Movement

  1. Keep your elbow straight and slowly rotate your torso the other way.
  2. Stop where your bicep stretches.
  3. Hold, then repeat on the opposite side.

Breathing

Exhale as you rotate, and breathe slowly while holding.

Cautions

  • If your elbows bend, the tension disappears.
  • If you shrug your shoulders up, your neck tenses instead.
