How to perform it
Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Extend your arms straight in front of you, parallel to the ground. Interlace your fingers and rotate your palms away from your body. Slowly raise your arms overhead, keeping them straight and parallel to each other. As you raise your arms, squeeze your shoulder blades together. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, then release and repeat.
