How to perform it

  1. 1Sit or lie with your back against a stability ball placed at mid-back level, then extend over the ball to open your chest and pec stretch position. Allow your arms to fall open to the sides as you relax into the stretch, letting the ball support your thoracic spine and encouraging extension. Breathe deeply and hold for 30-60 seconds, using each exhale to relax further into the stretch. Avoid forcing the stretch — let gravity and your bodyweight do the work, and feel the pecs and anterior shoulder opening as the t-spine extends.
