Standing Lateral Stretch
Expert Advice
Keep your core engaged and avoid bending forward or backward. The movement should come from the side of your torso to effectively stretch the lats.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Raise one arm overhead and then lean to the opposite side of the raised arm, creating a stretch along the side of your torso.
- Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply.
- Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
