Against-Wall W Pose

W-Pose Against Wall Stretching

Positioning

1. Stand about an arm's length away from a wall.
2. Face the wall, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Extend your arms out to the side at shoulder height, palms facing forward.

Movement

1. Bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle so your fingertips point up, creating a "W" shape with your arms.
2. Press your forearms against the wall.
3. Keep your shoulders relaxed and down.
4. Gently push your chest forward and lean into the wall, feeling a stretch across your chest and shoulders.
5. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds while breathing deeply.
6. Relax and return to the starting position.
7. Repeat the stretch 2-3 times.

Tips

- Ensure your back remains straight throughout the stretch.
- Modify the distance from the wall if you need a deeper or gentler stretch.
- Do not push too hard; the stretch should feel comfortable, not painful.
