How to do it
- Stand with your back to a wall, about an arm length away.
- Reach your left arm back and place your palm flat on the wall at shoulder height.
- Keep the arm long and gently turn your chest away from the wall.
- Step forward slightly until you feel a stretch across your chest and shoulder.
- Hold, then switch arms.
Work one side, then switch. Timed sets run once per side.
Form tips
- Move your hand a little higher or lower to find the spot that feels best.
- Keep your shoulder down and back rather than letting it roll forward.
