Instructions
Sitting Underhand Crossover on a Chair
Positioning:
1. Sit on the Chair: Choose a chair that allows you to sit comfortably with your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
2. Posture: Sit up tall with your back straight and shoulders relaxed. Your arms should be at your sides.
Movement:
1. Starting Position: Extend your arms out to the sides at shoulder height, palms facing up.
2. Crossing Arms: Slowly bring both arms in front of your chest and cross them over each other. Your right arm should go over your left arm.
3. Open Arms: Return to the starting position by extending your arms out to the sides again at shoulder height.
4. Repeat the Movement: Perform the crossing motion several times (10-15 repetitions), then switch the crossover so that your left arm goes over your right arm.
5. Breathing: Inhale as you extend your arms and exhale as you cross them.
Tips:
- Move at a slow and controlled pace to maintain balance and focus on your form.
- If you feel any discomfort in your shoulders, reduce the range of motion or take a break.
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability.
