How to do it

This movement is ideal for improving mid-back mobility. Begin lying on your right side with the bottom leg straight and the top leg bent at 90 degree resting on top of a foam roller. Position your arms outward in a straight line, level with the chest, with the left palm resting on your right palm. Keep the bottom or right arm in that position as you lift the left arm. The goal is to try to touch that arm to the floor on the opposite side of the body before returning back to the starting position.
