00:00:00.130 --> 00:00:03.590
Thank you for joining the ADA
Ergonomic Stretches Moment.

00:00:04.250 --> 00:00:06.520
This movement is called Touchdowns.

00:00:06.910 --> 00:00:12.190
We will be doing five repetitions
with five deep breaths, raising both

00:00:12.219 --> 00:00:14.480
arms straight up and above the head.

00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:15.890
Let's begin.

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:22.049
Go ahead and stand comfortably,
hips facing forward with soft knees,

00:00:22.319 --> 00:00:24.009
with your arms down by your side.

00:00:25.060 --> 00:00:28.690
And when you're ready, you're
going to raise both arms up on

00:00:28.690 --> 00:00:31.970
an inhale towards your ears.

00:00:32.655 --> 00:00:34.185
Both arms are straight

00:00:38.005 --> 00:00:41.695
and bring your arms
back down on an exhale.

00:00:45.485 --> 00:00:54.114
Inhale both arms, elbows, straight but
soft, and notice if you want to change

00:00:54.115 --> 00:00:58.395
the orientation of your palms on your
inhale to see what feels most comfortable.

00:00:58.825 --> 00:01:03.795
You might have them facing each other,
facing forward, or facing backwards

00:01:03.815 --> 00:01:06.225
as you raise to the end point.

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:08.580
and reach just a little bit

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:17.650
and on an exhale lower and soften
the arms back down towards your side

00:01:21.490 --> 00:01:30.529
inhale arms back up towards your ears
with straight arms and soft elbows maybe

00:01:30.529 --> 00:01:35.570
notice if you can move the movement
from your shoulders and move your arms

00:01:35.620 --> 00:01:42.690
to feel a little bit longer creating
space in this shoulder joint And on the

00:01:42.690 --> 00:01:48.640
exhale, lower the arms slowly and with
intention back down towards your side.

00:01:52.410 --> 00:01:57.179
Inhale, arms up once
again towards your ears.

00:01:58.170 --> 00:02:01.440
See if you would like to change
the orientation of palms.

00:02:02.729 --> 00:02:07.179
Reach, make sure that your knees
are soft while you're inhaling.

00:02:11.150 --> 00:02:16.789
Bring the arms back down
towards your side on the exhale.

00:02:21.279 --> 00:02:31.400
Inhale for the last stretch here, all
the way up, reach as far as you can.

00:02:31.730 --> 00:02:36.050
And once you can't reach any more, imagine
that you're going on your tippy toes.

00:02:36.070 --> 00:02:40.729
And if you'd like, go on your tippy toes
and reach just a little bit further.

00:02:41.769 --> 00:02:42.470
Activate.

00:02:42.780 --> 00:02:50.150
And reach, and on the exhale,
slowly lower your arms all the

00:02:50.150 --> 00:02:52.300
way back down towards your side.

00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:56.580
That is the end of this exercise.
