The Rear Deltoid Stretch is an exercise that targets the rear deltoid muscle, which is located on the back of the shoulder. This stretch can help improve shoulder mobility and flexibility.
How to perform
To perform the Rear Deltoid Stretch, follow these steps:1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
2. Reach your right arm across your body at shoulder height.
3. Use your left hand to gently press on the back of your right elbow, guiding it towards your left shoulder.
4. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, feeling a stretch in the back of your shoulder.
5. Repeat on the other side by reaching your left arm across your body and using your right hand to press on the back of your left elbow.
6. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds on this side as well.
7. Repeat the stretch on each side for a total of 2-3 sets.
Remember to breathe deeply and slowly throughout the stretch to help relax the muscles and deepen the stretch. It's important to listen to your body and not push too hard into the stretch to avoid injury.
