Y's Exercise for Strengthening Upper Back

1) To start this exercise, lay facedown on floor with your arms raised to create a “Y” shape with your torso. Stick your thumbs up.

2) Glide your shoulder blades together and down, then raise your arms off the ground.

3) Return to the starting position and repeat for the number of prescribed repetitions.

TIP: Be sure to initiate movement with the shoulder blades, not the arms, so that you feel this working your upper back and shoulders. Keep your thumbs up and your core tightly pulled in.
