Chest Expansion (Kneeling)
The Work · Move 12 of 15
Starting position
Kneel tall, hips over knees, arms long at your sides.
How to do it
Inhale to press the arms back past the hips, opening the collarbones. Hold the breath — look right, look left, center. Exhale to return. 4 times.
Keep in mind
Grow an inch taller as the arms press back. · Keep the core canister locked so the low back doesn’t arch.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
