Instructions

Setup

  • Begin in a quadruped position (all fours), with hands directly under your shoulders and knees directly under your hips.

  • Keep your spine neutral and your core braced.

Movement

  • Start by placing one hand behind your head, keeping your elbow pointed straight out.

  • Initiate the movement by rotating your upper torso, bringing the elbow downward and inward toward the opposite hand.

  • Fluidly reverse the motion, rotating your upper back to open up your chest, pointing your elbow toward the ceiling as you sweep your arm wide.

  • Follow your elbow with your eyes to ensure maximum thoracic rotation.

  • Complete the desired repetitions on one side before switching to the other.
