Standing Elbow Tucked Opener

1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart for stability.

2. Extend your arms out to the sides of your body, keeping your elbows slightly bent.

3. Keeping your elbows tucked into your sides, bring your forearms and palms together in front of your chest. Ensure your movement is smooth and controlled.

4. Squeeze your chest muscles as you bring your arms together.

5. Slowly open your arms back to the starting position, focusing on engaging the muscles in your upper back.

6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Remember to maintain good posture throughout the exercise, keeping your core engaged and your shoulders rolled back and down to avoid hunching over.

This exercise is primarily about control and muscle engagement, so focus on the muscle contraction rather than speed or momentum.
