Stretching your neck and arm muscles

In this video, you will learn how to stretch your neck and arm muscles

These exercises are performed with the help of your nordic walking sticks

Start by stretching your neck

Place your right hand on the left side of your head, passing it behind your head

With the help of just the weight of your hand, bend your neck towards your right shoulder

Hold the tension for 10 seconds then return to your initial position

Perform the same exercise int he other direction, using your left hand

Now onto the triceps

Take the end of one of your sticks with your right hand and hold it behind your back

Hold the bottom end of your stick with your left hand, then pull it downwards

You should feel stretching in your right biceps

Hold the tension for 10 seconds, then hold your stick in front of you

To stretch your left triceps, switch position and repeat the exercise
