Description

Lie on your back, ensuring to inflate your chest and bring your shoulder blades downwards and backwards. Position the working arm along the body, with the elbow bent. Lift the arm to shoulder height, forming a 90-degree angle with the torso, while avoiding shrugging the shoulder. To intensify the effort of the shoulder muscles, you can clench your fist.
