3 exercises to stretch the largest muscle of your arms

Stretching exercises are important

If exercising is necessary to lose weight, stretching is crucial for increasing your flexibility and mobility. Before attempting any exercise, every person must do stretching to avoid injury and muscle strain. The same rule applies when you are exercises to tone your arm muscles.

It is a common misunderstanding that biceps are the largest muscles of your body and because of that, everyone focuses a bit too much on stretching it during the warm-up session. But in reality, your triceps are the larger muscles, present in the back of your upper arms. These muscles help to extend the elbows and stabilize the shoulders. Moreover, it is an essential muscle for developing upper body strength. Even when your arms are sore after an intense workout session, you should focus on stretching your tricep muscles for relief. Here are 3 stretching exercising you should do to make your triceps muscles more flexible:

01/ Overhead triceps stretch

How to do it: Extend both your arms above your head. Make sure they are close to your ears. Now bend the elbow of your left hand and try to touch the middle of your back. Gently grasp the elbow of your left hand with your right hand and pull it towards your head. Pause for a second and then switch your arm.

02/ Horizontal stretch

How to do it: Stretch your left arm in front of you and move it across your chest. Now gently grab the elbow of your left arm with your right arm, pressing it into your chest. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds then repeat the same with the other arm.

03/ Triceps towel stretch

How to do it: Hold one end of a towel or string in your right hand and then stretch it behind your head by pulling the towel down toward the floor. Hold the other end with your left hand from the bottom. The back of both of your hands should be against your back. Now pull the towel up and down in opposite directions. Do this for 30-45 seconds.
