Hug Yourself

Stretch Data
Main Muscle Worked: Shoulders

Equipment: None

Video Guide: Windows Media - MPEG

Tips: You can either do this stretch standing or seated. Grab hold of your back under your shoulder blades. Give yourself a strong bear hug and pull your shoulder blades away from each other with your hands. Drop your head forward to relieve neck tension at the same time. Keep your shoulders down. For best results, synchronize this movement with your breath this way: inhale, hug, exhale, drop shoulders, drop neck, and hold.
