I learned about an exercise called a "Wall Angel" today from a programmer who'd struggled with back, shoulder, and arm pain. I suffer from none of those, but I do have a quick morning stretching routine that I try to stick to. I'm always curious if there's something I can add to the mix. What's a wall angel? <img src="{att_link}wall_angel.jpg" href="{att_link}wall_angel.jpg" align="none" scale="50%"> Technically, yes. The <i>exercise</i>, though, is like a snow angel, but performed up against a wall. It took me a few search links to find something that would just tell me that, instead of trying to impose draconian cookie requirements or glitchy, non-functioning videos. I found it on <a href="https://www.livestrong.com/article/13769150-wall-angels/">LiveStrong</a>, <bq>It's a shoulder exercise that involves standing against a wall and raising your arms overhead in an arcing motion, much like making a snow angel.</bq> <img src="{att_link}wall_angel_4_realz.jpg" href="{att_link}wall_angel_4_realz.jpg" align="none" scale="50%"> OK. I guess there's not much to it. It's a good thing that it's so easy because the video isn't working there either. Then, near the bottom, I see: <bq>Why Do Wall Angels Feel So Hard? Reaching your arms overhead demands ​a lot​ of upper-back and shoulder mobility. Think of this mobility as a combination of flexibility, strength and muscular control. And all three of these are things we tend to lack.</bq> WTF? Was this written by an AI? Or did I miss a memo? Is raising your arms over your head considered a strenuous activity now? I'm looking at a picture of a very healthy-looking, veiny-armed individual for whom standing up and putting his arms up shouldn't pose too much of a problem. I've not added this to my morning stretching routine. I'm already reaching for the sky anyway. Mission accomplished.
