Hugs

Standing or kneeling dynamic arm hugs; swing arms wide horizontally to open the chest, then wrap arms tightly around the ribcage to stretch the upper back and rear deltoids, alternating top arm.

Key points

  • Open chest wide and retract shoulder blades on the outward swing
  • Wrap arms across the torso and round the upper back gently on the hug
  • Alternate which arm crosses over on each repetition

Common mistakes

Moving too aggressively or flinging arms out of control.
