Stick Lying Front Raise

Lie flat on your back on an exercise bench with your knees bent and feet firmly planted on the floor.

Hold a stretching stick with an overhand grip, keeping your hands about shoulder-width apart.

Start with your arms extended straight down toward your hips resting on the bench.

Inhale and slowly raise the stick in an arc over your head until it reaches the level of the bench behind you.

Exhale as you reverse the motion, bringing the stick back to your starting position with control.
