How to perform Wall Slide

1. Face a wall with your feet about shoulder-width apart.
2. Bend your elbows and place your forearms vertically against the wall, with your elbows around shoulder height.
3. Press your forearms gently into the wall and keep your ribs stacked over your pelvis.
4. Slide your forearms upward, allowing your shoulder blades to rotate upward and around your rib cage.
5. Reach only as far as you can keep forearm contact without arching your lower back to gain height.
