How to perform it

  1. Clasp fingers together with your thumbs pointing down, round your shoulders as you reach your hands forward.

Muscles worked

The Upper Back Stretch primarily targets your Middle Back, with support from your Middle Back. No equipment needed — train it anywhere.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Upper Back Stretch slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
