F 35 Horizontal Shoulder Flex EN

From a knee lean position, sitting onto the heels, again flexing the ankles so that you don’t have any compression into the feet, leaning back, flexing the upper spine, and having the arms extend forward again, this should be movement from the shoulders.

Now you’re going to cross the right arm over top of the left arm as far away from each other as possible.

And then when you can’t move anymore, we almost have a kind of a hugging motion.

You’re trying to hug yourself.

And when you can’t move the arms anymore to either side, you’re going to cross the elbows and interlock and try to bring the backs of the hands toward each other.

Once you’re comfortable enough there, once you’ve got to the point where you feel that you can’t bring the hands together anymore, you’re going to start to move the sternum and chest vertically up at the same time, moving the elbows forward and up and allowing the hands to move away from the face.

But don’t lift the shoulders up toward the ears.

Keep your shoulders drawing downward the whole time.

Once you’ve reached the straight upright position here, start to again undulate around the center part of the body.

Again, moving the rib cage in a circular kind of motion around the spine.

To release here, we’re going to sort of lean back as we flex the upper spine. for the elbows to release down closer toward the chest and then once again as we release we’re gonna hug ourselves again and we’re gonna initiate the movement from the shoulder as we release one arm at a time outward to the front and then come on up and release the arms down
