Correct technique

  1. 1Start with your palms facing you and rotate them forward smoothly as you press up.
Breathing: Exhale on the effort (lifting, pressing, pulling), inhale as you release.

Caution if you have pain

If you have pain in your shoulders, choose a gentler variation. In your custom plan we leave it out completely in that case.
