Upright Doorway Chest & Pec Stretch
Starting position

Stand in a doorway, forearms flat against the frame, elbows at 90 degrees, level with or just below your shoulders.

Hold 30–45 sec

Breath — Slow, relaxed breathing

How to do it

Step one foot forward through the doorway until you feel a gentle stretch across your chest and front shoulders. Hold about 30 seconds.

Keep in mind

Keep your gaze forward and spine straight — don’t lean by bending at the waist.

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? →
