Instructions

Starting Position:
1. Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Engage your core for stability.
3. Let your arms hang naturally at your sides.

Movement Instructions:
1. Raise your arms straight back behind you, keeping them at shoulder height.
2. As you lift your arms, aim to squeeze your shoulder blades together.
3. Pulse your arms back by slightly moving them back and forth while maintaining their height. Do this for about 10-15 reps.
4. Ensure your movements are controlled and focus on squeezing the muscles in your upper back.
5. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat for 2-3 sets.

Tips:
- Keep your neck relaxed and your chin slightly tucked to avoid straining.
- Maintain a steady, controlled breathing pattern throughout the exercise.
- If you feel any discomfort, reduce the range of motion or take a break.
