Instructions
Setup
Stand in a relaxed, upright position with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Movement
Interlace your fingers together.
Extend your arms straight up overhead, turning your palms to face the ceiling.
Push your hands upward, feeling a gentle lengthening sensation throughout your shoulders, chest, and sides.
Keep your head in a neutral position and engage your core to avoid arching your lower back.
Hold the stretch for the desired duration while breathing steadily.
