How to do it
Stand in a corner or beside a wall and place your forearm and palm flat on the surface at shoulder height. Step the same-side foot forward and slowly turn your chest away from the wall until you feel a stretch across the front of your chest and shoulder. Hold, breathe, then switch sides.
- 1A gentle stretch across the front of your chest and shoulder
- 2Your forearm staying flat and stable against the wall
- 3Your chest opening as you rotate away from the wall
Common mistakes
- Forcing the rotation past mild tension
- Shrugging the shoulder up toward your ear
- Bouncing instead of holding a steady stretch
