Shoulder - Abduction

Expert Advice

Keep your shoulder blades down and back to avoid shrugging your shoulders, which can lead to tension in the neck.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand or sit with your arms at your sides and palms facing in.
  2. Slowly lift your arms out to the side, keeping them straight, until they are level with your shoulders.
  3. Hold the position for a moment, feeling the stretch in your shoulders and chest.
  4. Lower your arms back to the starting position with control.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
