Extend your arms out in front of you and place your palms flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart.
Slowly lower your torso towards the floor, keeping your arms extended and your palms flat on the ground, until you feel a stretch in your lat muscles along the sides of your upper back.
Hold the stretch for about 20 to 30 seconds, making sure to breathe deeply and evenly throughout.
Slowly raise your torso back to the starting position, keeping your arms extended, and repeat the exercise as desired.
Pro Tip
Proper Breathing: Make sure to breathe deeply and evenly throughout the exercise. Inhale as you reach forward and exhale as you sit back onto your heels. Holding your breath, which is a common mistake, can increase your blood pressure and deny your muscles the oxygen they need to function effectively. Maintain a Slow and Steady Pace: Avoid rushing through the stretch. It's not about how many repetitions you can do, but about the quality of each stretch. Moving too quickly or bouncing can lead to muscle strain. Keep Your Arms Extended: One common mistake is to let your arms bend or relax during the stretch. For maximum effectiveness
