Muscles Used
- Triceps
Advice On Technique
- This can be done either standing or sitting
- Choose your desired position
- If standing have your feet facing forwards, legs hip-width apart with soft knees
- If sitting, feet flat on the floor facing forwards, legs slightly apart
- Have a tall upright torso in either position
- Start to raise your left elbow up towards the ceiling so your upper arm is parallel to the side of your temple
- Drop your arm down towards your shoulder blades
- With your right arm lift this over your head so your hand can reach the upright left elbow
- Hold the elbow and feel the stretch in the tricep
- Hold for 10-15 seconds
- Then slowly release and return to neutral
- If this stretch is too advanced you can bring your arm across the front of your chest, making sure the shoulder does not hunch up
- With your other arm hug the stretched arm into your body to feel the stretch
- Hold for 10-15 seconds then return to a neutral position
