Sit on a chair. Place your left hand on the right side of your head while your right hand holds onto the chair seat. Pull your head slowly to the left and hold back with your right arm so that the right side of your neck is increasingly stretched. Pull your head in different directions (forwards/backwards) so that all the muscles around your neck are stretched. Hold the stretch each time for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite side.
Stand in a door frame or similar. Bring your arm slightly backwards and hold your hand against the door frame. Press your arms against the frame so that there is an increasing stretch on the front of your shoulders. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds and then move your arm up and down the door frame and repeat the stretch so that different parts of the muscles are stretched.
Stand with your training arm in front of your body. With your opposite hand, press behind your elbow on the training arm so that your elbow is pressed against the opposite shoulder, causing an increasing stretch on the outside of your shoulder and upper arm. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite side.
Stand with your arms at your sides and your elbow bent 90 degrees. Face forwards and palms upwards. Rotate your arm out as far as possible and then in front of your stomach.
