Description: W8/D6 Friday Stretch: Upper Body

If sitting in this position is uncomfortable, you can stand and walk your arms on a wall from side to side. Take a few steps back from the wall, lean forward and bring your hand to the wall. Then walk hands on either side far enough to feel the side of your lat stretching. 

Hold for 10 seconds, 5 times for each side. Total of 10, 10 seconds lat holds.

Lat Stretch

Take two yoga blocks or something similar in height. Place them in front of you, shoulder width apart.

Sit back on your legs, or a pillow if needed. Extend your arms in front of you and reach for the yoga blocks.

Then using one arm at a time bring your hand to the ceiling, or as far as you can. Feel the stretch in your upper back. Hold position for 5 seconds then switch arms. 

Repeat for 3 sets of 10. ( Each arm will extend 5 times for one set )

Tip:  Only follow your head with your hand, try not to look up past your arm when reaching for the ceiling.

Thoracic Mobility

Gently slide your arm under the other, and feel your back stretch. Hold for longer than 5 seconds for a deeper stretch, never longer than 30 seconds. 

Never push a stretch, always go until you feel resistance from your body. The more you do the better you improve!

That frog pose was hard this old body doesn't have that flexibility but I tried 😅

When I do these exercises I feel great if I miss a day or 2 I feel it.
Thanks for the workouts they really do help

I tried the lower body mobility and felt great once I was done. April does a great job giving a quick yet thorough description each stretch. I will be doing her daily posts!
