Instructions:
- 1Begin by sitting on the edge of a bench or chair with your hands placed next to your hips
- 2Slide your buttocks off the bench while keeping your legs extended out in front of you
- 3Straighten your arms, keeping a little bend in your elbows in order to always keep tension on your trapezius muscle and off your elbow joints
- 4Slowly lower your body towards the floor until you feel a stretch in your shoulders
- 5Push back up until your elbows are nearly straight but not locked
Tips:
- Keep your shoulders down as you lower and raise your body
- Focus on the contraction of your trapezius muscles
- Avoid locking your elbows at the top of the movement
- Ensure that your body remains close to the bench throughout the exercise
