Instructions
1. Lie on your back on a smooth surface with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
2. Extend your arms straight above your head, keeping them in contact with the floor.
3. Slide your arms down while keeping your wrists and elbows in contact with the floor, bending your elbows until they reach a 90-degree angle, or as close to it as comfortably possible. This phase activates the muscles highlighted in the image.
4. Slowly slide your arms back to the starting position, extending them overhead.
5. Focus on keeping your lower back in a neutral position, avoiding excessive arching, and engage your core to maintain stability.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure smooth arm movements and avoid jerky motions. This exercise helps improve shoulder mobility and strength, particularly in the posterior shoulder region.
