chest stretch
Thorax flexibility exercise
A chest stretch is an exercise that opens and lengthens the pectoral muscles, typically by extending the arms backward or pressing them against a doorframe or wall.
Common in warmups and cooldowns, chest stretches counteract the forward-hunched posture from desk work: Hold the chest stretch for thirty seconds on each side.
