Slowly raise your arms out to the sides until they are parallel to the floor, then lower them back down. Repeat this movement for 10-12 repetitions. To perform the standing lateral stretch without weights, simply stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Slowly raise your arms out to the sides until they are parallel to the floor, then lower them back down. Repeat this movement for 10-12 repetitions.
