Chest Stretch


Chest stretch

Stretching the muscles in your upper back can promote good posture. To stretch these muscles:

  • Stand in a relaxed position with your arms extended in front of you, parallel to the floor (top).
  • Pull your shoulder blades together behind you, bending your arms slightly at the elbows. You'll notice that your arms spread a little wider as you do this (bottom).
  • Hold the position for a count of five, then relax as you return to the starting position.
  • Repeat five to 10 times.
