Happy Sunday! We completed the week and now it’s time to reset for Monday. Stretching is VERY important for long term especially if we want to be working out for a long time we have to take care of our bodies. This series of stretches is for the entire upper body opening everything up. You can hold each position anywhere from 20-45 sec. Enjoy and relax! 💪🏾
