Instructions

  1. Grab the pull-up bar with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

  2. Step off the support or lift your feet so your body hangs freely with arms fully extended.

  3. Relax your shoulders, neck, and lower body completely to allow gravity to traction your spine.

  4. Breathe deeply and hold this passive stretch for the desired duration.

  5. Safely lower your feet back to the floor or step down with control when finished.
