July Week 2 Exercise and Stretch

Exercise
Lat Pull-Down: a basic upper body strength exercise that targets the upper back. This exercise also improves stability in the lower back and core.

• Sit at a lat pull down machine and grab the bar with overhand grip about shoulder width apart. Your arms should be completely straight and your torso should be upright. 
• Pull your shoulder blades down and back and pull the bar down to your chest. Pause, then slowly return back to the starting position.

Stretch
Overhead Lat Stretch: a simple stretch that can be performed to stretch the entire length of the lats. 

• Put one arm overhead and grasp the elbow or wrist overhead with the other hand.
• Pull elbow toward head and back. Repeat on the other side.
