Dynamic Chest Stretch
How to Do:
Setup
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and arms extended straight out in front of you at shoulder height.
Open Your Arms
Slowly swing your arms out wide, keeping them straight, as if you're about to give someone a hug.
Stretch Your Chest
As you open your arms, focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together and opening up your chest.
Return to Starting Position
Bring your arms back in front of you, crossing them over your chest gently, as if you're hugging yourself.
Repeat the Movement
Continue swinging your arms back and forth in a controlled motion for 10-15 repetitions.
Breathing
Breathe deeply as you swing your arms open, exhaling when you return to the starting position.
Benefits:
The dynamic chest stretch improves flexibility and mobility in the chest and shoulders while also increasing blood flow to the upper body. This stretch is particularly effective as part of a warm-up routine before upper-body exercises. It helps reduce muscle stiffness, enhance posture, and increase range of motion, preparing the chest muscles for more intense activity.
