Backhand Raise

How to Do:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and a slight bend in your knees.
2. Let your arms hang naturally at your sides with your palms facing backward.
3. Engage your core and maintain a neutral spine as you slightly hinge forward at the hips.
4. Raise your arms backward as far as comfortable, keeping your palms facing up.
5. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, feeling the contraction in your upper back and shoulders.
6. Slowly lower your arms back to the starting position.
7. Repeat for 10–15 repetitions with controlled movement.
