How to do the Overhead Reach Stretch

1. Sit tall with arms relaxed by your sides.
2. Sweep your arms out and up overhead, interlacing your fingers with palms facing up.
3. Reach toward the ceiling while relaxing your shoulders downward.

Tips

• Lengthen through your spine to create extra space between vertebrae.

Adjustments

• Keep hands shoulder-width apart if interlacing feels uncomfortable.
• Gently lean side to side for an added stretch along your ribcage.
