No matter your age, being flexible and mobile is important to help you with your day-to-day physical functioning. Fortunately, even if your mobility isn’t where it should be, you can quickly improve it with the right techniques. Here are the best chest exercises you can do to increase your mobility.
Seated Chair Stretch
Sit down on a chair and interlock your fingers behind your head. Pull your elbows back until you feel your chest stretch. Hold the position for about 5 seconds and perform ten reps. What’s particularly great about this stretch is that it’s quick and convenient. In fact, you can do it at work between Zoom meetings.
Scorpion Chest Stretch
Lie flat on the ground face down with your arms flat at your sides. Lift one leg up and keep the other leg on the ground, rotating the raised leg around the other to create the scorpion position. Use the arm on the side of the moving leg to support the rotation, pressing lightly on the floor. Hold for three to five second and perform 10 reps.
Quadruped Kneel Pectoral Stretch
Start off on all fours and extend one arm straight out to the side. Push your shoulder to the floor and rotate away from the extended arm. Only descend to a depth that is comfortable before repeating the motion on the other side.
