Tricep Stretch

Pounding on a keyboard means that your triceps are in one position for long periods. Bring them to life with this quick stretch.

Sit up in your chair and put your right hand behind your neck. Point your elbow in the air. Then put your left hand on your right elbow and gently (gently!) pull it toward your head. You should feel a good stretch in the back of your upper arm that radiates down past your armpit. Hold five seconds, relax, then repeat five times. Do it again with the other arm. Warning — don’t tilt your head forward while doing this stretch and don’t attempt it if you have a shoulder injury.

For something more advanced...
This stretch feels slightly different if you do it standing. Simply repeat the above instructions while standing upright. Remember—don’t tilt your head forward.
