Stretch Your ShouldersYour shoulders may tend to stiffen if you don’t make a conscious effort to loosen them up. If they do, this simple stretch may help them out.
Stand straight with both feet flat on the floor and both arms at your sides.
Extend arms out to each side, with elbows straight and palms facing down. Hold this position for 5 to 10 seconds.
Keeping both arms outstretched, move both palms together over your head. Both arms should be extended upward.
Slowly bend your left arm at the elbow so that your left hand drops behind your head.
Place your right hand on your left elbow and exert pressure on the left arm by gently pulling the elbow behind your head. You should feel the left shoulder stretch. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds.
Switch arms and pull your right elbow with your left hand. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds.
Repeat exercise for both shoulders two or three times.
Bring arms back to original position.
