1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a stick with a wide grip, your arms extended in front of you at shoulder height.
2. Move the stick over your head and down towards your lower back as far as you can comfortably go. Ensure to keep your chest up and avoid arching your back excessively.
3. Hold the stretch for a specified duration if aiming for an isometric hold, feeling the stretch in your shoulders and chest.
4. Reverse the motion by bringing the stick back over your head to the starting position in front of you.
5. Perform this movement for the desired number of repetitions, gradually trying to increase the range of motion as your flexibility improves.
Ensure to perform each repetition in a controlled manner, taking care not to force the stick too far if you feel excessive tightness or discomfort. Remember to breathe normally throughout the stretch.
