Upper Pec Stretch

Move 1 of 7
Upper Pec Stretch
Starting position

Stand in the doorway. Place your forearms flat against the frame with your elbows low, below shoulder height.

Hold 30–45 sec

Breath — Slow, relaxed breathing

How to do it

Step one foot forward through the doorway to create tension across the upper chest. Hold and breathe, then ease back.

Keep in mind

Keep your front ribs knitted down; don’t let your lower back arch to cheat the stretch.

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? →
