Alternating Standing Eagle Up

Positioning:

1. Start Position: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Ensure your weight is evenly distributed on both feet.
2. Arms Positioning: Raise your arms in front of you, bending your elbows at 90 degrees. Cross your right arm over your left arm at the elbows, bringing your palms together if possible. Your forearms should be pointing up.

Movement:

3. Breathing: Inhale deeply as you prepare to move.
4. Upper Body Stretch: As you exhale, gently raise your crossed arms upwards while keeping your elbows bent. Aim to lift only your hands towards the ceiling.
5. Hold: Maintain this position for 15-30 seconds, focusing on your breathing and the stretch across your chest and shoulders.
6. Return to Start: To release, gently lower your arms back to the starting position while inhaling.
7. Repeat: Switch the cross of your arms, bringing your left arm over your right, and repeat the movement for the same duration.

Tips:

- Keep your core engaged to maintain balance.
- Avoid any strain; adjust the range of your motion based on comfort.
- Focus on smooth and controlled movements throughout the exercise.
