Mobility and stretches
Thoracic rotations
Muscles worked: Upper back
How to do it
- Set up. Get on your hands and knees, hands under shoulders and knees under hips. Put one hand behind your head.
- Move. Turn your upper back to bring that elbow down towards your other wrist, then rotate up to point it to the ceiling. Keep your hips still.
- Finish. Move slowly and only as far as is comfortable. Finish your reps, then swap sides.
Common mistakes
- Twisting from the lower back.
- Rushing.
