Coach's Tips

Do not extend your arms too far back to avoid potential injury.

Avoid bouncing or jerking your arms during the stretch.

Discontinue the stretch and seek professional advice if any pain or discomfort occurs.

Start Position

Start by ensuring your arms aren't pulled too far behind you to prevent injury.

Refrain from bouncing or making sudden movements with your arms as you stretch.

Cease the exercise immediately if you feel pain, and contact a healthcare professional if necessary.

Proper Form

Extend your arms beyond your head gently, keeping them straight.

Maintain the position for 20-30 seconds.

Release your arms slowly and return to the initial position.

Inhale deeply as you extend your arms overhead.

Exhale while maintaining the stretch position.

Sit down with your legs stretched out in front of you.

Extend your arms above your head and clasp your fingers together.

Carefully draw your arms back and upwards from your head.
