This eighth exercise can be done standing up or sitting down, with the legs crossed. We have chosen the first (standing) to clearly show you the exercise's movements.
Stand up straight while facing wall, and at the same time you should try to keep your back totally straight. This position will help prevent curving the lumbar vertebras. As in the previous cases, try to perform this routine in front of a mirror in order to progressively improve the posture and to prevent errors.
Once we are in this position we will have to lift our arms extended on top of the head, in such a way that we bend our hands to form a right angle with our arms. Try to push outwards with your wrists.
Now lower the stretched arms backwards until you are able to unite them behind you, just as you are shown in the video. You should notice that while the hands are touching each other behind the back, that your breasts will push outward. Attempt to extend this motion as far as possible each time that you lift the arms.
Repeat this movement 30 times as slow as you possibly can. To finish, on the last 8 repetitions, make an effort to hold the position of your hands behind the back for a longer amount of type.
Note: Below we will show you how the exercise is when being performed in a seated position. |
