Description

Lie on your back on a table or on your bed with a weight in your hand and your arm stretched out. Slowly lower the weight to the side, then, once you've reached shoulder level or slightly below, raise it dynamically to around 60° (see image 2). Don't go all the way up over your head. Hold the position for 3 to 4 seconds, then repeat the movement.
