Carpet Gazer: Stand in neutral position with your feet a little wider than normal. Clasp your hands behind your back, interlocking your fingers. Inhale. Exhale and slowly bend forward, bringing your arms with you. Let gravity pull you as far as possible. You may also feel a hamstring stretch as well as a shoulder and back stretch. Hold for fifteen seconds, continuing to breathe. Lower your arms and slowly roll up through your spine, bringing your head up last. This ergocise stretches the pectorals (chest muscles), external rotators (shoulder muscles that rotate the arm outwards), hamstrings, increases circulation in arms, helps prevent arm and shoulder pain and fatigue.

Not the stretch you want?
