This exercise isolates the movement of shoulder extension while lying prone
To
do this exercise
you will need a mat. Start by lying on your belly with your legs
lengthened long beneath you. Inhale to prepare and then exhale as you
slide your shoulder blades down your back and lift your arms into the
air. Inhale as you lower your arms to the ground and then exhale again as
you lift your arms. Repeat 8-10 times
Things
to think about
When
you slide your shoulder blades down your back be sure that you also widen your
collarbones.
As
you are doing this exercise imagine movement your shoulder blades and
collarbones moving around your ribcage. Imagine fluid movement that is
free from the tension of the upper trapezius muscles.
