Dagelijks staan of zitten we veel met onze rug en schouders naar voren waardoor de borstspieren wat kunnen gaan verkorten.
Hiermee kan je weer wat lengte in de borstspieren creëren.
Chest (Pectoral) stretch
Stand with good posture holding a towel behind your back.
Lift the towel up behind your back holding the ends with both hands.
Gently pull your shoulders into extension. You should feel a stretch in the front of your chest.
Squeeze the shoulder blades together to maximize the stretch.
Hold this position for 15 to 30 seconds, and then relax.
Repeat a few times times.
