Description

Lie on your stomach with a towel under your forehead and take a light weight in each hand. Place your arms extended diagonally forward, so as to form a Y with your body, with your thumbs pointing up. Then lift your arms toward the ceiling without bending your elbows, and lower them slowly, controlling the movement. During the exercise, remember to bring your scapulas slightly closer to each other.
