Exercise notes

  • HOW: Stand next to a doorway or pole. Reach the arm you want to stretch over and across your body and grab onto the doorway with your palms face up, not down. Cross your leg on that side behind you. Slowly let your hips sink away from the door. Look under your armpit to further intensify the stretch.

 

  • FEEL: You should feel a stretch along the shoulder, lats, and even the side of your lower back with this stretch.

 

  • COMPENSATION: Make sure to "let go" and let your hips sink away. If you do not relax your shoulder, you will not feel the stretch!
