Shoulder and Back Stretches

These are the last of my stretches... I have more so I might post stretches again in the future, but these are it for now! 

Shoulders #1

This stretches your shoulder area in general, including the: pectoralis major (chest), biceps brachii (another type of biceps, called biceps femoris, is on your leg and you're not stretching your leg with this!), and deltoids (the muscle on top of your shoulders that give the shoulders a rounded shape). The second picture to the left is the same thing as the one on the right, except it is done with a bar (or something else like a dresser) instead of on the ground.

Shoulders #2

This stretches the back portion of the deltoid. Just place one arm over your chest and hook the other arm over it. Use your "hook arm" to pull your straight arm closer or farther from your chest, depending on how hard you want to stretch.

Seal Stretch
This stretches your spine as well as your abdominal muscles. If you feel sore after an intense ab workout, this will help loosen up those muscles.
For dancers/gymnasts/other athletes, if you want to stretch your spine to a higher level, try touching your toes to your head. Attempting it actually works out your latissimus dorsi (back muscles) and biceps femoris (back of your leg, behind the thigh) because you have to clench those muscles in order to achieve the position.

 Shoulders and Back...combined!

This position stretches both the shoulders and the spine -- how exciting! Just grab on to a bar/surface of about your shoulder height, and press your shoulders down towards the ground as far as you can. This is actually really similar to a yoga position called Downward Dog and stretches the same places too; to view how to do that, check out Hamstring Stretches (continued).

Thanks for reading, and I hope these stretches helped! I wish you the best of luck in your stretching adventures. :P
