Instructions
Setup
Begin in a kneeling position on a soft surface, keeping your spine straight and core engaged.
Start with your arms bent in a 'W' shape at shoulder height, palms facing forward, elbows tucked down and out.
Execution
Press Up: While maintaining the 'W' shape, press your elbows slightly upward while extending your arms until they are straight overhead in a 'Y' configuration.
Return: Control the downward movement, pulling your elbows back down and out to return to the starting 'W' position.
Emphasis: Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together throughout the movement while keeping the shoulders relaxed and away from your ears.
