Instructions
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and engage your core.
Lift your arms so that they are parallel to the ground and your elbows are bent at a 90-degree angle.
Keeping your forearms parallel to the ground, bring your elbows forward until they touch or come as close as possible. Squeeze your pectoral muscles as your elbows touch.
Without dropping your arms, reverse the movement, pulling your elbows back and squeezing your shoulder blades together to work your upper back. Ensure that your elbows remain at shoulder level throughout the motion.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Make sure to maintain control throughout the exercise, avoiding any jerking or swinging movements. The Elbow Touch and Lift focuses on mobility and can help improve posture, so focus on smooth, deliberate movements.
