2. Slowly raise your arms straight above your head, pressing your palms together. Ensure that your back is straight and your core is engaged.
3. Hold the stretch at the top for a few seconds, feeling the extension in your shoulders and upper back.
4. Lower your arms back down to your sides in a controlled motion.
5. Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions or for a set amount of time.
Make sure to keep your movements smooth and controlled, focusing on a full range of motion and keeping the core engaged throughout the exercise.

It can be easily incorporated into a warm-up routine or done as a standalone exercise to break up periods of inactivity.
