I  Overhead Shoulder Reach

How many times a day do you reach overhead? Chances are it’s not many,our surroundings have become so convenient. The more you practice this movement, the easier common tasks like reaching for a high cabinet door become.

1.Standing with your feet shoulder width apart, reach your right arm straight up toward the ceiling until you feel a stretch in the shoulder along the right side. Then switch arms and reach high with your left arm.

2. For the final movement, reach both arm sup over your head toward the ceiling until you feel a stretch on both sides of your body.

II  Backhand and Forehand Swing

Sports such as golf, tennis, and badminton require excellent shoulder flexibility and strength. Use this dynamic movement as part of an active warm-up. Begin slowly and allow the weight of your arm to gradually increase speed and range of motion.

1.Place your left hand on a wall and extend the arm fully. Reach your right arm across your chest and under your left shoulder by dropping your right shoulder until you feel the stretch in the back of the shoulder.

2.  Complete the backhand by swinging the right arm back through the start position and allowing the momentum to raise the extended arm as high over the right shoulder as possible.

The Importance of Good Posture While Stretching Muscles

The Importance of Good Posture

Good posture is one of the most important and overlooked elements of successful stretching. It not only serves an aesthetic purpose, but good posture aids breathing and physical health, and prevents joint and soft tissue damage.

It’s important to keep a neutral spine while stretching. It’s often easy to arch your back or strain your neck to complete a stretch, but the reality is that you’re compromising the stretch and placing a strain on your joints.

The good standing posture looks like the hips,shoulders, and spine are all aligned and vertical. This is often referred to as ''standing tall''.
