How to Front Shoulder/Chest Stretch
Starting Position
Sit on the floor with your knees bent and the soles of your feet on the ground. Extend both arms back, placing your palms on the floor, and straighten your upper body to prepare.
Proper Form
1. Support the floor with your palms and slowly lift your hips.
2. Feel the refreshing opening in the front of your shoulders and chest.
3. Slightly move your hips back and forth to adjust the intensity of the stretch.
4. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then slowly lower your hips back to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when you lift your hips, and breathe naturally while holding.
Precautions
Adjust the wrist angle to avoid strain on the wrist. Do not excessively arch your back and maintain tension in your abdomen. Do not tense your neck and keep it relaxed.
