Do This Stretch EVERY Day For Better Posture!
February 2, 2025When it comes stretching, there are so many different stretches that we can benefit from adding into our daily or workout routines. The best part of stretching, however, is that you can select what areas need more focus than others. Especially with a mobile joint, we need to explore where our deficits are.
One thing that we don’t get often enough is shoulder extension. With the shoulder rocks, you will be able to get into shoulder extension by having your arms posted behind you, like you see me doing in the video. Simply rock back and forth while keeping your chest up and out. If you want to get more out of this stretch, simply lift your butt up higher, getting good glute activation, and rock back and forth from this position.
This isn’t a passive, but rather dynamic stretch. This means that it is perfectly placed at the beginning of your workout to explore greater range of motion and mobility of the shoulder joint that will be beneficial during your training session. So, perform 5-10 reps, depending on how it feels, as part of a greater pre-workout stretching and mobility warmup.
