Bent Arm Chest Stretch
Equipment
Bend your right arm at the elbow to a 90-degree angle, so your hand is pointing upwards and your elbow is still in line with your shoulder.
Gently pull your right elbow towards your left side using your left hand until you feel a stretch in your chest and shoulder.
Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds, remembering to breathe deeply and relax.
Repeat the same process on the opposite side by switching your arms.
Pro Tip
Use a Wall or Doorway: To ensure safety and effectiveness, use a wall or doorway to perform the stretch. Place the palm of your bent arm against the wall or door frame. This will provide a stable support and help you keep balance during the stretch. Body Rotation: Slowly rotate your body away from your bent arm until you feel a stretch in your chest. Avoid the mistake of rotating too quickly or too far as this can cause injury. Listen to your body and only stretch to the point of mild discomfort, not pain. Maintain Proper Posture: Keep your spine straight and avoid arching your back. This common mistake can lead
