How to do the Seated Chest Stretch

1. Sit with knees bent and feet flat, planting your hands behind you with fingers pointing away.
2. Slide your hands back slowly until you feel a stretch across your chest.
3. Lift your chest, draw shoulders back and down, and breathe steadily.

Tips

• Keep arms straight without overextending your elbows.
• Tuck your chin slightly to keep the neck long.

Adjustments

• Keep hands closer to your body if the stretch feels intense.
