- Stand below a sturdy pull up bar, grasping it with both hands shoulder-width apart.
- Allow your body to hang naturally, keeping your feet slightly elevated or lightly touching the ground for balance.
- Relax your shoulders and let your body weight create a gentle stretch in your lats.
- Hold this position for 20-30 seconds, focusing on deep, controlled breathing.
- Slowly release and lower your feet to the ground to finish.
