Bent Arm Chest Stretch

1. 1 - Stand upright or sit tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and your spine neutral.
2. 2 - Raise one arm out to your side at shoulder height, then bend your elbow to 90 degrees so your forearm points upward.
3. 3 - Place your bent arm against a wall, door frame, or sturdy surface for support.
4. 4 - Gently rotate your torso away from the arm until you feel a comfortable stretch across your chest and the front of your shoulder.
5. 5 - Hold the stretch for 20–30 seconds, breathing deeply and allowing the chest muscles to relax with each exhale.
6. 6 - Slowly return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side.
7. 7 - Perform 2–3 sets per side, increasing the rotation slightly each time as flexibility allows.
