How to Stretch Your Triceps Before Nordic Skiing

A day of skiing includes a considerable amount of poling, which can leave your triceps muscles sore. A cool-down stretch can help alleviate tightness.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. 

   Stand up straight.

2. 

   Lift your left arm straight up so that your fingers are pointing above you.

3. 

   Bend your left elbow until your hand is resting at the base of your neck or further down your back.

4. 

   Place your right hand on your left elbow.

5. 

   Push down gently with your right hand.

6. Stop pushing when you can feel your tricep stretching.

7. Hold for 8 to 10 seconds.

8. 

   Repeat with your right arm.

Tips & Warnings

• Your tricep is located on the back of your arm between your shoulder and elbow.
• This strech works effectively before and after skiing.
