How to do it

  1. Stand tall with both arms extended straight up overhead.
  2. Step one foot out to the side as you pull your elbows down and back until your arms form a W, squeezing your shoulder blades together, then step back in as you reach the arms back up overhead.
  3. Alternate the stepping leg with every rep.
  4. The pull-down is the payoff - imagine cracking a walnut between your shoulder blades on every W.
