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? →
