Dynamic Chest Stretch
Straight arms swing open at shoulder height and cross in front again; the chest stretches on every opening.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, arms straight out to the sides at shoulder height.
Steps
- Swing the arms across the front, one over the other.
- Swing them open until the chest stretches.
- Switch the top arm each time; keep the rhythm easy.
Common mistakes
Flinging the arms back hard: open to a stretch, not a throw. Shrugging on each swing: the shoulders stay low. Arching the back to open wider: ribs down, only the arms move.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
