In the first image, the man is facing a table with both of his lower arms on the table. His arms are extended straight and his head is leaning forward slightly. There is a callout showing him pushing his chair farther away from the table with his chair, causing him to lean more forward and straighten his arms and shoulders more. In the next image, the man has his right side next to the table and his forearm is resting on the table with the thumb pointing up. There is a callout showing him pushing his chair farther away from the table with his chair, causing him to lean more to his right and to straighten his arm and shoulder more. In the third image, his right side is next to a table and his right forearm is resting on a table. There is a callout showing him leaning forward with his right forearm still on the table at his right side. The last image shows the man standing with his back to a table. He is gripping the edge of the table with both hands. There is a callout showing him squatting down while holding the table.

Helpful tips


  • Stay active and work out to keep your muscles strong and flexible.
  • Keep a healthy weight to avoid putting too much stress on your joints. Eat a healthy diet to keep your muscles healthy.
  • Be sure you do not hold your breath when exercising. This can raise your blood pressure. If you tend to hold your breath, try counting out loud when exercising. If any exercise bothers you, stop right away.
  • Always warm up before stretching. Heated muscles stretch much easier than cool muscles. Stretching cool muscles can lead to injury.
  • Try walking and swinging your arms at an easy pace for a few minutes to warm up your muscles. Do this again after stretching.
  • Never bounce when doing stretches.
  • After exercising, it is a good idea to use ice. Place an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel over the painful part. Never put ice right on the skin. Do not leave the ice on more than 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Ice after activity may help decrease pain and swelling. Never ice before stretching.
  • Doing exercises before a meal may be a good way to get into a routine.
  • Exercise may be slightly uncomfortable, but you should not have sharp pains. If you do get sharp pains, stop what you are doing. If the sharp pains continue, call your doctor.
