Stretching - Upper Limbs

After the prank of first April, lets continue our session which we left earlier. In this post i will be telling you important stretching exercises of the upper limb and the shoulder . There are pictures included for easy understanding of the steps.

Shoulder Stretch:
The shoulder stretch, as the name implies stretches your posterior shoulder muscles. In a standing position, bring the first arm across your chest while using your second arm to pull it towards your chest. You should feel this stretching your shoulder muscles. After 15-20 seconds of stretching your first shoulder, switch arms.




Triceps Stretch:
This triceps stretch is also done in the sitting position. Bring your first arm up and place the palm of your hand down the center of your back with your elbow in the air. Place your other hand on your elbow and gently hold in place as you stretch your first arm. After a stretching of 15 to 20 seconds switch your arms.



Biceps Stretch:
Stand tall, feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Now hold your arms out to the side parallel with the ground and the palms of the hand facing forward. Rotate the hands so the palms face to the rear, stretch the arms back as far as possible. You should feel the stretch across your chest and in the biceps.
