Chest Stretch


Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your legs slightly bent. Clasp your hands behind your back. Pull your tummy muscles in and keep your head, neck and shoulder relaxed. Keeping your back straight, lift your arms away from your back until you can feel the stretch across your chest, you should feel your chest "opening". Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, then return to the start.


Stand facing a corner or open doorway. Raise your elbows to shoulder height at your sides, bend your elbows so that your forearms point straight up, and place your palms against the walls or door frame to stretch the sternal section of the pectoral muscles on both sides. This position will form the letter T.
