Pectoral Stretch
The Pectoral Stretch is a simple yet effective stretch that helps open up the chest, improve posture, and relieve tightness in the shoulders and chest muscles.

Step 1: Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart. Position yourself near a doorway, wall, or sturdy surface. Extend one or both arms out to the sides at shoulder height, with your palms facing forward.

Step 2: Place your hands on the doorway or wall and gently step forward with one foot. Keep your chest open and shoulders relaxed as you feel the stretch across your pectoral muscles. Avoid shrugging your shoulders or arching your back.

Step 3: Hold the stretch for 20–30 seconds, breathing deeply to enhance relaxation. If using only one arm, repeat the stretch on the opposite side.

Step 4: Perform 2–3 sets per side to maximize flexibility and mobility in your chest and shoulders.

This stretch helps counteract tightness caused by prolonged sitting or poor posture, promoting better upper-body mobility and reducing the risk of shoulder discomfort.
