The Back Pec Stretch exercise is a stretching exercise that targets the muscles in the chest and shoulders.
How to perform
To perform the Back Pec Stretch, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Stand facing a wall or doorway with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Place one hand on the wall or doorway at shoulder height, with your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle.
3. Slowly rotate your body away from the wall, keeping your arm in place, until you feel a stretch across the front of your chest and shoulder.
4. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, focusing on breathing deeply and relaxing into the stretch.
5. Repeat the stretch on the other side by switching arms and rotating in the opposite direction.
6. Perform 2-3 sets on each side, gradually increasing the stretch as you become more flexible.
It is important to listen to your body and only stretch to a point where you feel a comfortable stretch, avoiding any sharp or shooting pain. Stretching should feel good and help improve flexibility, so adjust the intensity of the stretch as needed.
Equipment required
Body Weight
