There are several advantages to stretching our upper body, many of which improve our general well-being. We can feel increased flexibility and range of motion in the shoulders, neck, and upper back by regularly stretching. These stretches aid in releasing the stiffness and tension that might build up from extended periods of sitting or repeated motions.

Stretching the upper body helps to improve posture by reducing the negative consequences of hunching forward and slouching. We are able to keep a more upright and aligned position throughout the day thanks to its assistance in lengthening the muscles and relieving tension. We can lower our likelihood of experiencing discomfort or pain in the upper body by practicing excellent posture.

Extending the upper body also helps people relax and reduce tension. By promoting deep breathing and improving blood flow to the muscles, it fosters tranquility and relaxation. These stretches can improve our sense of balance and calmness by including little periods of rest and rejuvenation in our everyday routine.

It's important to pay attention to your body, move at your own pace, and avoid pushing yourself too hard when stretching, as with any exercise program. Enjoy stretching your upper body and relish the wonderful advantages it brings for both your physical and emotional well-being.

- Hi. Sade here. Do me a favor and like this video if you wanna see more content like this. Today we are focusing on the upper body. A lot of us work, a lot of us are at desks. We are hunched over all day, or we're working with our hands. There's just a lot of upper body movement. The neck can be stressed out, the shoulders can be tight. So I just wanna dive into that while also just expressing gratitude to the higher power that we are able to work and do things with our hands and move. I wanna take this time to just really reset the upper body right now. So let's do it. Get comfy. Cross leg position. Take a deep inhale. Exhale. Let it go. Two more just like that. Inhale. Exhale. One more deep breath. Inhale. Exhale. Beautiful. Let's begin with some neck circles. Drop that chin to the chest and circle to the right, really taking your time. And back to center. Drop that head down and circle to the left. Ear is aiming to touch the shoulder, neck. Dropping all the way back, ear to shoulder. So good here. Back to center. Look right, look left. Look right again. Look left. And come back to center. Arms out. Give me arm circles. Forward, or towards me. - Awesome. And away from me. That feels great. Thank you to the source and higher power for allowing us to work and get through the day. Thank you for this time to just release for 3, 2, 1. Beautiful. Both arms up. Come onto that right elbow, that tricep stretch. Really pressing down, making sure the spine is long and the neck is straight so we're not here or hunched over. We're really, really intentionally moving here. That's so good. Let it go. Beautiful. Take that right arm across your chest. Make sure your elbow's locked to really stretch out that shoulder. And we're not up here, we're down. Really relaxing yet being intentional. And give me a wrist rotation. So good here, breathing through. Nice. Now take that right hand out. Palm facing away from yourself. Grab with your left hand and really stretch that out. You can really feel that in your forearm. So good. Let it go. Tricep on the left here. Really pressing the elbow. And to feel that again, we're not hunched. Spine is nice and long. Ah, it feels so great. Nice. Arm across the chest, again, elbows are locked. Intentionally moving here, just being grateful for every part of your body. Hit that wrist rotation. Beautiful. Left hand out, facing away. Really feeling that forearm stretch here. Being connected, being one and releasing feels so good. Nice. Ha. Shake it out real quick. Just a quick shake. Take a deep inhale. Exhale. Drop that right forearm down. That side stretch on the left. Switch, dropping that left forearm down, side stretch. Beautiful. Twist to the right. You can bring that left hand on the knee if you have it. Being here is totally fine. Always listen to and honor your body. Wonderful. And switch. And back to center. Final deep breath in. Exhale, expressing gratitude to the highest power and your gut intuition and feeling really good about yourself. Thank you so much for joining me on this upper body stretch. Remember to stay true to yourself. Be in that divine energy and know that God loves you.
