Corner Wall Chest Stretch
1. Positioning:
- Stand facing a corner or the junction of two walls.
- Place your feet shoulder-width apart for stability.
- Step forward slightly, placing each forearm against the wall at shoulder height or slightly above. Your elbows should be bent at a 90-degree angle.
2. Hand Placement:
- Your palms should be flat against the wall, with your fingers pointing upwards and your arms parallel to the floor. Ensure your elbows are just slightly below shoulder height.
3. Stretching Movement:
- Slowly lean your body forward into the corner, while keeping your forearms pressed against the wall.
- As you lean, you should feel a gentle stretching sensation across your chest and shoulders.
4. Hold the Stretch:
- Maintain this position for 15 to 30 seconds. Breathe deeply and relax into the stretch.
5. Returning to Start:
- Slowly push back from the wall to return to the starting position.
6. Repetition:
- You can repeat this stretch 2 to 3 times, ensuring you feel a comfortable stretch each time.
Tips:
- Keep your back straight and avoid arching it as you lean forward.
- Do not force the stretch; it should feel comfortable and gentle.
- If you feel any discomfort or pain, ease off the stretch.
