Seated Alternate Dynamic Chest Stretch on a Chair
On a chair, straight arms open wide at shoulder height and fold across in front, a different arm on top each time.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall away from the backrest, feet flat, straight arms out in front at shoulder height.
Steps
- Sweep the arms out to the sides until the front of the chest pulls.
- Bring them back across in front, one above the other.
- Put the other arm on top next time and keep an easy pace.
Common mistakes
Leaning back into the chair as the arms open: sit tall off the backrest. Throwing the arms back: open to a stretch and stop there. Arms sinking below the shoulders: keep them at shoulder height.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
