How to do it
Plant your feet shoulder-width apart and keep them grounded throughout.
- 1
Stand next to a wall or a sturdy object.
- 2
Extend one arm out to the side and place your palm on the wall.
- 3
Gently turn your body away from the wall until you feel a stretch across your chest and shoulder.
- 4
Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, then switch arms and repeat.
Expert tip
Keep your shoulders down and back to prevent them from rolling forward, which can reduce the effectiveness of the stretch.
Common mistakes
- ✕Placing the hand too high on the wall
- ✕Bending the elbow during the stretch
- ✕Rotating the torso too fast into the stretch
