Eagle Exercise

Each eagle repetition includes a full raise, overhead stretch, deep breath in, and slow exhale. The Eagle is intended to be repeated frequently throughout the day rather than performed for long sessions. The Eagle uses palm-up external rotation to oppose internally rotated posture from sitting, typing, and stress-related flexor dominance. The eagle requires a stable stance with legs, abdominals, and buttocks actively engaged. During the eagle, arms are raised overhead and the hands are stretched upward and slightly backward without arching the back. The Eagle starts from a tall standing posture with squared shoulders, the head balanced over the spine, and arms extended to the sides. The Eagle moves the arms overhead after rotating the palms upward, with straight arms and palms meeting if possible. The eagle is a full upper-body stretch performed from a grounded standing position.
