Overhead Triceps Stretch

How to do it

1. Stand or sit tall with feet planted and shoulders relaxed.
2. Raise one arm overhead and bend the elbow so the hand drops behind your head.
3. Reach the opposite hand up and gently guide the raised elbow further back and slightly across.
4. Guide the elbow only until you feel a stretch along the back of the upper arm through the triceps.
5. Breathe slowly and hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds.
6. Release the elbow with control and switch arms.
