Latissimus Dorsi-SMR

Stretching · Foam roller · Beginner

How to do it

While lying on the floor, place a foam roll under your back and to one side, just behind your arm pit. This will be your starting position.
Keep the arm of the side being stretched behind and to the side of you as you shift your weight onto your lats, keeping your upper body off of the ground. Hold for 10-30 seconds, and switch sides.

When to stop

Stop and rest if you feel chest pain or pressure, are more short of breath than you'd expect, feel dizzy or faint, or have sudden pain. If chest pain or faintness doesn't pass when you rest, call 911.
