Kneeling Pec Stretch

Technique

How to perform Kneeling Pec Stretch

1. Begin on all fours with your knees below your hips and hands below your shoulders.
2. Slide your right arm straight out to the side, keeping the palm on the floor and the arm roughly in line with your shoulder.
3. Keep your left hand beneath your left shoulder to support your torso.
4. Lower your chest gradually and turn slightly away from the extended right arm until you reach a mild stretch across the chest and front of the shoulder.
5. Keep your hips above your knees and avoid gaining range by sagging through your lower back.
6. Hold while breathing normally, then press through your supporting hand to release the stretch.
7. Bring the right hand back beneath you and repeat on the other side.
