Natalie's Weekly Stretch Tip: Climbing the Rope

(Good for tight shoulders, chests, and upper back)

Sit at the edge of your chair with your feet firmly planted on the ground. Inhale as you reach one arm up (as if you’re climbing a rope up to the ceiling), exhale as you reach the other arm up. Keep both arms above your head as you mimic this “climbing rope” action. Allow your body to sway with the action and notice if your shoulders or neck start to tense up. Relax them with Repeat this action for 10-20 breaths. Guaranteed to bring out the awkward sixth grade PE student in you!
