Latissimus Dorsi & Side-Body Hang
Move 6 of 7
Starting position
Stand sideways inside the doorway. Reach your inside arm high overhead and grip the inside lip of the frame.
Hold 30–45 sec each side
Breath — Slow, relaxed breathing
How to do it
Step your outside foot behind you and hang your hips out away from the frame, opening the whole side body. Hold, then switch sides.
Keep in mind
Breathe deeply into your expanded side ribs to open the tight muscles from the inside out.
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? →
