Triceps Stretch (Overhead)

How to do it

1. Stand or sit tall with the shoulders relaxed and raise one arm straight overhead.
2. Bend the elbow so the hand drops behind the head toward the opposite shoulder blade.
3. Reach the opposite hand up and over to hold the raised elbow, gently drawing it further behind the head.
4. Feel a stretch along the back of the upper arm of the raised elbow while keeping the ribs from flaring, breathing evenly.
5. Hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds without pulling the neck out of alignment.
6. Release the elbow slowly, lower the arm, and repeat on the opposite side.
