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.

Mobility exercises are becoming a very important part of working out. Moving your joints through their full range of motion before a workout can help to keep your joints healthy and reduce the risk of injury. There are now entire classes dedicated to improving mobility and stability. Taking 15 minutes before your workout to go through a range of mobility exercises can really help your body to function optimally. You’ll see a huge difference, just by taking that time 2-3 times a week, in your alignment, posture and how you move.

Add these exercises to your warm-up to maintain and increase your hip, shoulder and spine mobility and to boost your flexibility and strength over time.

Cat-Cow Pose

Start on all fours, the wrists under the shoulder and knees under the hips and spine neutral. Slowly arch the spin, lifting the chest and tailbone and lowering the bellybutton toward the ground. Draw the belly button up towards the spine to round the back and drop the tailbone toward the floor. Bring your chin into the chest. Do 8 reps.

Frog Stretch

Start on all fours, wrists under shoulders and knees under hips. Drop down on to the forearms and slowly slide the knees outwards as far as possible with knees bent at 90 degrees. Stay there for 30 seconds.

Scapula Push-Ups

Start in a high plank position. Pull the shoulder blades together, while keeping the spine neutral and elbows straight. Actively press hands into the floor to open the shoulder blades as wide as possible. Do 8 reps.
